At large public events I always have noise dampeners in.
What is it about us that we need an excess to feel alive?
Why does celebration have to
overwhelm the senses
drown out any thought
to be successful?
I want the quiet
I want to feel my body
I want to dance - not to be carried away by the music, but to float on it
yell at the people around me
sweat on them
clutch at clammy hands
but still know that I am okay
I am here
I am here
