Ever after

I don´t generally mind neuroses, but I do mind being bored to tears. I don´t generally mind sadness and pain and sorrow, but I do mind feeling like life passes me by and there is really nothing to it. I do mind simple. I do mind plain. I do mind when life is sucked out of me like the slow, lazy drizzle of a broken faucet. I prefer speed. I prefer movement. I prefer colour and light and brightness. I could never live a life in silence. I could never settle for calm. I do want leverage. I do want harmony. But my harmony does not come from silence. My harmony does not stem from balance. Instead, what I want is a life lived in full -- to the very core: Where curiosity is god and knowledge only serves the function of making me understand how little I really know. Where I dance, where I break, where I hurt, where I grow. Where I begin again and again and again.

And never stop.
