I'm tired of pretending that I think it's funny when I tell people about certain things I do.
like hugging trees. people thinks it's funny. but I'm tired of acting like it's some stupid thing I do. I love how if you really hold on to one, it becomes warm and soft. and your body molds to the bark. it has scars just like you do. it has hands and feet just like you do. it has layers that have hardened over the years. an outer shell that will protect it's ego from being hurt by being looked upon as just another tree. it wants love and affection just like you do. it wants to be held and talked to. it gets lonely just like you do. it loves to dance and sing in the rain. it loves to have the sun warm it's face. it asks kindly that you don't carve your boyfriend's name into it's body because he'll break up with you in a month or so. because he says he loves you, but he doesn't know what love is. but the tree will always be there for you. it will scoop you up into its arms and cradle your body when you feel empty. it will make you whole.
I like little bugs. I like to let them crawl on me and explore the different tastes and smells of my skin. to feel the vibrations of my body when I let the oxygen in. no one takes time to focus in on the tiny details that a tiny bug smaller than the tip of your pinky nail has. it's a shame to see how easily someone can flick or smush something so beautiful. like it's a booger. they have more patterns and stripes than a giraffe or a zebra....why don't you just go to the zoo and flick a few zebras. to me it's all the same. you might think it's lame. but I'm tired of pretending like I think it's some kiddie quality that I have. I've always been serious about it.
I like to gaze into people's eyes when they talk to me. I want to really know who I'm talking to. I want them to feel truely appreciated and I believe that the best way to show them is to look them straght into the eye. and I believe that if you can't look me straight in the eye, then you don't know me, and you surely won't ever appreciate me.
and that's all I have to say about that.
for now.
