When did everyone get so scared of living and of what other people think? It's sad when a movie is what it takes to have you remember that life's really only life if you live it. I mean, when was last time we closed our eyes and span around in circles with our finger-tips trying to reach the ends of the earth. Or sat in a swing and sped it round and round so that the chains tightly coiled, only to let go and have the feeling of the world spinning around you in super speed, while you yourself sat still. I promised myself I wouldn't ever become that, but like many promises it never came through. It wasn't that I forgot about this idea of freedom and content, it just sort of slipped through the cracks. It slipped through the questions of "but what would they think of me?" or "that's just unacceptable, wouldn't it be embarrassing?" I don't think I'm going to ask those question anymore...or not as much as I used to. Right now, I'm just going to drive to the beach and dance wildly alone with one hand swaying freely in the wind...I may even drag my MP3 player into it. I think the only true fiasco any of us face is the day we wake up and forget that we can do those things, that we should do those things.
