It should go without saying, that in just the passage of an hour’s time, I am changed. For all further introspective purposes, or rather, to put it candidly, I am ruined. I’ve been spoiled. I’ve been exposed to color and sound and feeling where previously there  had only been monochrome monotony and subsequently I can’t perceive as zealously as I’d like. Everything is quaint and bland. Everything else is not the same. I am ruined.
