Meh. I am going to have such difficulty returning to the real world - work specifically - after this.
Everything feels safe and protected and magical here in our little tribe's kingdom of all things kick ass - I don't want to ever leave it.
But that is a habit of mine it is high time to break - that habit being on dwelling on the anxiety of the kick ass thing ending rather than immersing myself in the present kick assness of the thing while it is happening.
So much is lost that way and all it does is elevate my stress levels - which for the record - have spent quite enough time elevated - quota filled thank you kindly.
The damage I have endured due to my fixation on the stressful is too long to detail - but suffice it to say stress will kill you if you let it.
This all feels something like being reborn - and forgiven - I mean without sounding all spiritual and crap because fuck knows how I feel about all that diatribe. But it does. When something this pure touches, enriches, captures your life with this much magnitude it is hard not to gain an entirely new perspective. You become forever changed. Or, I do, in any case.
So all of that being said I am certain we are just too disgustingly content to deal with on any level - I mean truly, we are nauseating. We can admit it. But we are all just so goddamned happy. And for that I refuse to apologize.
Anyway...this is what a little prince looks like:
The fox gazed at the little prince, for a long time.
"Please--tame me!" he said.
"I want to, very much," the little prince replied. "But I have not much time. I have friends to discover, and a great many things to understand."
"One only understands the things that one tames," said the fox. "Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me . . ."
"What must I do, to tame you?" asked the little prince.
"You must be very patient," replied the fox.
