I want to be the light, that just burns out your eyes...
I remembered something yesterday: You don't have to ask permission to be nice to someone.
I forgot that somewhere along the way. The nice things you do for the people that matter should be optional; it should give them a nice feeling about you, and makes them feel better.
I don't need anything in return, b/c I love the feeling of giving someone a good day. I forgot how fulfilling it is to do something for someone for no reason more than you think it will give them an overdue smile. I want to have pure motives behind the things I do again. It finally occurred to me how stupid I've been about everything. It's time to make people grin a real grin, the kind you can't really help your mouth from grinning.
I've definitely had things very messed up for this last...well, year. I haven't moved forward; I've been selfish. I'm sorry.
Watch Raising Arizona, just the end if you like(but the whole thing is good):
"The shades and shadows of the people in my life wrastled their way into my slumber...This whole dream, was it wishful thinking? Was I just fleein' reality, like I know I'm liable to do? If not Arizona, then a land, not too far away, where all parents are strong and wise and capable, and all children are happy and beloved....I dunno, maybe it was Utah."
I love that part.
