i have an idea.

What if we finally shook off the pressure that we have to be like somebody else or dress a specific way or say certain words. What if we licked crumbs off our fingers and hugged fiercely and didn't care how loudly we laughed. What if we discarded society's impossible expectations and were brave enough to go without makeup. In public. (I'm really getting revolutionary here.) What if we actually danced in the rain, rather than simply frame those words on our walls. What if we shut off those screens that really do more to hinder than to help, and stopped substituting online hi-bye's for flesh and blood relationships. What if we actually treated those flesh and blood relationships as if they were treasures, instead of friend being nothing more than another word social media has cheapened. What if we cooked dinner at home more often and got up early just because and buried ourselves in raked-up leaf piles and maybe just didn't care anymore about being perfect. What if we stargazed. What if we spent more nights wrapped up in blankets and gathered around an outdoor blaze, the orange light glinting off our faces as we talk about Jesus and sing songs that truly mean something, until our throats ache with the passion. Really, just sometimes I wonder how our lives would be if we made it a soul-ingrained habit to embrace the simple and crave the underrated.
