All

“I just never felt so fantastically rocky in my entire life.” Franny and Zooey, J.D. Salinger It seems the older I get the more unsure I become. A song on the radio, a line in a book, the woman walking down the street. All these things wash over me with such severity. Ten minutes in the car alone and I end up frantically writing notes between stop signs on small hopes, backseats, and how i'm thoroughly convinced the man selling flowers on the corner is holy. It seems some days my crazy outweighs my sane. I'm happy, sad, quite entirely mixed up, and how wonderful it is! Because when I fall, I want it to be completely. Arms spread, eyes open, I want to feel this life. Here is my heart, My uncertainty. Build me or break me, Because I want to feel this. All of it.
