To wake up and feel enlivened; to be in a hurry to get out of bed and into the day. To have friends you want to speak to, compare experiences with and be on the phone to...Well, to be honest, I'm still some way from that.
In the book "Engleby," author Sebastian Faulks expresses a longing for a more vibrant and engaged life. He describes a desire to wake up feeling energized and eager to embrace the day ahead. The thought of having meaningful conversations with friends and sharing experiences brings a sense of fulfillment that he yearns for.
However, the narrator acknowledges that he has not yet reached this joyful state. There is a recognition of a gap between his current feelings and the aspiration to be fully connected, suggesting an ongoing struggle to find that sense of vitality and ongoing connection with others.
