Becoming

Something strange is happening and Saturday's meltdown was the funhouse inverse of it -- the wavy image to the straight: I'm becoming the man I've always wanted to be.

I realized this on the way to work today and it caught me by surprise. I've held the vision in my head so long and worked so hard to move towards it, but sometimes the progress has been so damned slow, I've been unaware of it.

I used that word at the end of my fic: "becoming".

Allow me a moment of satisfaction, if you would.
