It's amazing how being in the dark can make you think. Being in the dark with one single purpose and having that purpose echoed all around you, can really make you reflect on everything that's important in life simultaneously, and you don't even realize until afterwards.
Reflect on how the little things, like who you like, and what people think of you, are so tiny and insignificant and won't seem so very important years from now
How you are surrounded with so many people who love you, and how special that is, and how you wish you could just hold onto them forever... a perfect snapshot that lasts into infinity.
People like that are the ones I'm going to remember. And all the good that's attached to them will be held onto, while all the bad just fades away and the past begins to wear a warm glow.
Like Christmas. It's not the feelings on the day that are important, it's the feelings that become attached to the day along the line. The kind of feelings you only get from memories and anticipation.
Just like Christmas.
And the music flows through you like a constant breath. It just goes and goes without your even thinking. It all gets lost in the moment. And everything can just be. It's just you and the music and the dark, with all the little epiphanies swirling around in between.
Anyway, that's why I like being in the dark.
The Easter bunny isn't real, he's just a dude in a bunny suit who sneaks into your house at night. Like life, it doesn't matter how the chocolate got there as long as it's high quality stuff. Like Easter.
