and sometimes you just need to go all out. and sometimes you need to feel like you are completely owning yourself, your actions, your body, your mind, your spirit. sometimes you need to push and pull and hold and kiss and carress and giggle under your breath as you smile at the simple beauty of time. sometimes you need to accept that you are okay. sometimes you need to just accept compliments and let them fill you up for the time being. sometimes you need to reinforce that yes, "i am." i think i'll be alright.
