As her eager hands reached for her new virtual lifeline, she repeatedly reminded herself not to move too quickly. Or let the excitement in her eyes betray her. As much as she is happy to finally put an end to the 10-day abstinence, she didn’t want to appear too desperate.
.
It was the most difficult 10 days of her life. For at least the past decade, she’d always had the luxury (yes, it’s considered a ‘luxury’ when one has been deprived for more than 240 hours!) of accessing the virtual world at her own convenience. Anytime, anywhere.
.
When it was gone, she felt like her lifesupport was rudely yanked off and for the first few days, something as basic as breathing was a huge struggle. But as with most things in Life, we make do with what we can get. So, she bravely and not-so-patiently waited. And waited. The days wore on painfully.
.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she was able to let her fingers dance freely again. Without worrying about borrowed time. Or space. The freedom to dance to her own beat, at her own pace, with whomever she pleases - was hers once again.

*SMILE*

She … is back.
