Kong - Bonobo

This song says to me, "feel what you're feeling. Its ok to be where you're at." Sometimes we feel that its not ok to feel how we're feeling, that it is somehow not what we're "supposed" to feel. Theres not a Chicago Manual of Emotions on what situations you're supposed to act one way or during what time you should feel this way. Fuck it man. I'm Me, and you're You. You're the same person you were when you were 2 years old. Ever look at a picture of yourself when you were that young and think, "wow I've changed so much" ? well part of that is true...but really you havnt changed a bit! You're still that kid. Its just underneath your image of yourself now. I always forget that I'm still that brave, adventurous kid that I was when I was young. Why cant he come out more often? So many things about the world keep him inside. Fuck those things. Be responsible when you need to, but let yourself out of yourself every once in a while. Go dip your toes in the sand and be amazed at how it feels. Explore the sand. Dig in it. Throw it. Build with it. It is not sand. It is something that feels like this, can do this if I throw it, is warm, and is near the ocean. Details dont matter. It is about YOU with IT. Not Mark on the beach of some dirty ass lake in chicago, HELL NO. It is what you're doing now. It is you in the moment with it. Give yourself credit for experiencing it again. "I buried my feet in the sand, I'm glad I did that." No monetary or intellectual gain from it? You're thinking too hard already. Think with your heart, not with your head. Theres a person over there. Thats incredible. I am here, and they, are there. You are both here, together. Smile at them; you are smiling at yourself.
