if you love something, then really love it.
If that trip, person, or afternoon
opened up
new worlds and mind sets,
then by all means
write about it or play about it,
or maybe even tell someone.
And tell it the way it really is, exactly how it feels.
It is beautiful to feel in a body built for feeling,
and exist intensely on a planet excluding intensity,
because life itself is both
intense and beautiful.
There's absolutely no need or reason
to pretend otherwise.
