Letting loose is an act of such beauty and courage.
Also such joy and intelligence.
Elysha shared this with me last week, and I’ve scrolled through it several times since.
It’s served as a useful, welcomed, and much-needed reminder of…
“…a world of possibility, one in which adulthood could be fun, with surprise waiting around every corner.”
“…a reality in which a mundane routine could spontaneously give way to a goofy public party.”
“… even the most seemingly unremarkable person has a mysterious interior life and untold capacity for pleasure.”
It’s a reminder that “I’m capable of having fun, of being spontaneous, of forgetting myself long enough to join a conga line at a wedding reception.”
Smart words from a brilliant piece of digital art.
Don’t spend your life avoiding silliness, outrageousness, and public spectacle.
Your only reward will be quiet, unnoticed regret.
Thank you, Shane O’Neill.
