Threshold

Interesting word, that. Threshold. Or 'threskjoldr' if you like your Old Norse to be rendered into English. Think about all the things that it can mean.

The simplest definition is that of a gateway or doorway, something through which you go to get from one place to another.

It can also mean an 'ending'. The end of a runway for example.

Or a beginning, the place or point of entering, the start of a new age.

It is also the point at which physiological or psychological effects begin to take place.

Scientifically it can mean the point or level or value above which something is true and below which something is not.

On some level, I am a bit too aware of all of those meanings right now. A lot of stuff I've let slide for a while I've been taking more seriously lately, and some stuff that I've taken far more seriously then I mayhaps should have I am starting to let slide ( because, seriously, do I really need to unlock all the titles in 'Tales of Symphonia'? ).

Not that this really means anything to anyone outside of myself. Just me saying 'Hey, I am still alive. Just trying to figure out "what is next" for me and my life.' Don't need anyone thinking I fell off of a building again and lost another internal organ, only have a couple left to spare and saving those to be used for dramatic sacrificial gut wounds for the next time I get in a knife fight. Though fuck if I know how to manage to get stabbed in the gall bladder without anything actually important getting hit...
