so it started like this
i was sitting in institute. listening.
and i felt in me an urge to hug someone.
my insides were urging me to do that
but my insides always ask me to do things
"strange things"
so I put this idea in the pocket with those ideas
to be considered later
but the pocket never gets emptied
i didn't even realize that i was banishing every lovely notion that crossed over meUNTIL
a guy from institute thought i looked sad or something i guess (i think because i didn't sleep much last night...studying) and he asked me via text if i was ok and everything
but when everyone was mingling after institute he just came up to me and gave me a spontaneous bear, soul-purging hug
so this hug pretty much earned the release of one of the "nudgings" i put away and suppressed.
and i remembered the feeling
that comes with release
and inside me all the walls came down
it's weird that I didn't even realize that i hadn't felt close to myself for like 2 months
for the first time, in college, in this somewhat displaced atmosphere of always doing, always rushing, always new...
i came out of it all.
and i feel like i can never be lost again.
and i don't care about the "sanity of my classmates" anymore. there's no more "that's too over-the-top for these people, brittany, cool it"
that's rubbish- their sanity.
And I love them, them and their rubbish, if they must have it
but now i want for them to have THIS
THIS:
a sort of abandonment
not mine, necessarily. but their own.
as long as unpolluted love is incorporated, i think that's the only general rule
And that's all.
I became a slave to my HEART again.
When reckless adventure and unpolluted love merge. I feel like opening my arms wide, to show the world my wingspan and feel the world replying to me: "The world is infinite, as long as you can hold onto this feeling." All I am is what I feel, and tonight... I feel exquisite.
I'm happy for you Brittany! And so happy you felt compelled to make a blog about it, you have no idea how much better this made me feel! I've been uber upset with myself lately for being on the go 24/7 and denying myself ME time. The concept of merging "reckless adventure and unpolluted love," as I ponder over it more and more is pulling me out of this gosh darn head of mine and reminding me that I'm human, not a robot. And perfection is only a delusion, not a purpose. This blog post is by far my most favoritist thing I've ever read of yours! And I just might have to read it once each morning for a while until it's burned in my brain :D
