Feel

Feeling is a strange thing.  We can hurt, fear, cry, scream–care, love, laugh, give.  We can do a lot.  You know how sometimes, when you’re thinking really, really hard, you start to question whether or not the people around you can hear your thoughts?  Well, that’s what I’ve been doing a lot of lately.  It’s like looking inside yourself so intently that you see that very same self projected in front of you.  And let me tell you, it’s an interesting image.  You see all the things you like and all the things you don’t.  Some days, the good’s really good; other days, the bad’s really bad.  On those bad days, you know what will probably make you feel a lot better?  Laughing out loud.  The key here is to really do it out loud, none of that choked up stuff.  I mean real shoulder-shaking, face-opening, eye-watering, weak-kneed, lung-clearing laughter.  Man, it feels good.
