  • Spontaneity

    • I'm here.

      • Breathing. Noticing. Accepting. Feeling.

        • There's something that moves me towards a feeling.

          • Like I'm leaning over.

            • And that naturally happens all the time.

            • That's really me.

              • That is what I am.

            • But I suppress that.

            • I squish it.

            • I nip it.

              • And I'm worse for it.

              • Why? Not why. Stop thinking why. Just don't.

              • But when I really imagine not doing that, there's a small distance that makes me anxious.

    • This came up after H. told me that he got a foster dog where they pay for the vaccination and medication and just let him take care of the dog for five weeks.

      • And what I initially thought was, that's so cool.

        • And I had a leaning towards just doing it.

          • But then I thought, and I squished, and I nipped it.

            • And I feel worse for it.

    • I want to breathe.

      • I want to feel.

        • And fall with the leaning that I just feel.

          • I feel so much happier that way.

          • It makes me feel alive.

          • And I want that.

    • In the middle of the night.

      • We did it.

      • It was very spontaneous and it's a core memory now.

      • And they do this on a regular basis.

        • Just don't think, just do.

        • Do the things that are fun.

    • I didn't think about it being a waste of time.

      • I just thought, we want fireworks.

        • Let's go to a bunch of these fireworks stores.

      • I'm willing to spend a hundred bucks on fireworks.

        • They were a lot more choosy on certain things.

          • They had taste.

          • They chose certain fireworks because they liked it.

          • They didn't think too hard.

    • I didn't pick anything, I just watched.

      • There's still that overhead that I have that shouldn't exist.

        • Just be there, see things that are cool and do it.

        • Have fun.

    • And then we went to Waffle House.

      • I was feeling like not going.

      • I was going to not go.

      • I'm glad I did.

      • Just be present and try new things.

        • I’d never gone to Waffle House.

        • I got a waffle and a disappointing hash brown, but it was funny.

          • And I'll remember it.

            • How many memories do I really have?

            • I don't have all that much.

    • After Waffle House, we lit some of the fireworks around a high school, drove around doing pop-its, buying lighters, running away from cops.

      • It was fun.

      • We're going to do more tonight, which I'm excited for.

    • I think I was better at talking today.

      • I just didn't talk when I was going to say things like, well, actually, or anything that wasn't thriving.

      • You don't need to say things.

      • You don't always need a response.

      • You don't always need to be right.

      • You just need to be.

    • It was fun.
