As you might be able to tell, I was really going through it tonight as I sorted cards. Did any of that even make any sense?

It should also be noted that nikkigirl lives with what I got myself tangled up in almost daily these days. I respect her strength. Her strength becomes my strength. It has always been that way. Even when it wasn't.

Wait a minute, I thought we were talking about cards now.

Things have shifted too much into chasing the grand vision and now I'm back to sprinkling in the sorting of some trades. Which I guess is actually part of the grander vision. Anywho, this return to trades is one of the oldest I have not yet formally processed into my collection. This trade pre-dates the first chronicle, let alone the first trade I have logged here. Which has my mind drifting towards how far I have come in the past year. It all feels powerful tonight. Powerful feels.

Through the mess of it all, I really enjoy opening these trades for the first time. It is so random, unpredictable, and full of life.
