ghost of a smile
some very rare times, when i run, i can feel my strength building and i feel so free. so unburdened by sadness. so connected to why i should be happy - i actually love myself. i see myself in the mirror and think that i'm looking pretty good. i like how my cheeks glow after a run and how my hair gets all tangled. i'm more than comfortable with myself. just for that little time, i try to hold onto the feeling that all is right with me and my world.i deserve to be here and i'm loved.i feel it feel it, you know.smiling is so easy.i suppose normal people feel like this all the time...for me it's precious, and fleeting.(and it's happening more often you know) running works magic on me...just every once in awhile...but it's ok. nice to know i can feel a deep-down happy.
....tonight's blog post is brought to you by The Joy Formidable (this is linked)... in particular, the song whirring seems to suit me.
Nice work compadre! Yep... running is awesome like this. It's truly a glimpse of something greater.
