"I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw

I'm in the prime of my life

This is our decision, to live fast and die young

We've got a vision, now lets have some fun

Yeah its overwhelming, but what else can we do...

Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute"

TIME TO PRETEND. MGMT

I've been experiencing!

I experienced canoeing on a still-glass lake, gliding through warm water and the slime of clawing lilly pads that we decided felt like hands. Then I had a major photo sesh, jam sesh, drinking white-chocolate-creamiscle smoothie sesh, and looking through good books sesh.

By living vicariously through my godsister, I learned what itd be like to experience complete self awareness, inner peace, or waking up. And when she taught me to meditate I felt like... I was the outer layer of myself. The skin, eyes, and breathing. And there were a thousand tiny screaming children bustling about inside my body but mostly my brain, all shouting to be heard, but not wanting to hear. But I could hear all of them.

I experienced the setting of my mouth on fire with SAAG (green), NAAN (bread?) and TANDOORI (red) which made me realize how bland American food really is. And I really want to taste all ethnical foods of every country, no matter how many hours my mouth burns afterwards. I experienced heavy downpour that (from inside buildings) lulls to sleep, and stealing packet after packet of tea from the hotel lobby. And Amaretto coffee-creamer. Yum. And the illuminating realization in someone else that there is hope in humanity.

I experienced staring down band members and exchanging glowing smiles. Musicians just move so many people.. they radiate this uplifted atmosphere, a mood that swings and dips with their instruments and voices; someday I want to affect a great number of people like they do. But that feeling was general, and when everyone on could see them on stage, I got a smile that was meant just for me. Simple smiles can be the most personal, touching things. I like smiling at everyone I walk by on the street.

I experienced being open and honest. I experienced dancing in the backseat and laughing and long languid lazy lovely days at the beach. I was refreshed by the realization of how much I loved certain people, and how such utter comfort around them is a rare thing that I have in abundance. And I felt very greatful. I experienced a collective joy between us of falling in love with book stores aka Barnes and Noble.

I bought an introduction to philosphy book for only five dollars, and ive fallen in love with it because its everything I wonder on a daily basis.
