I believe in long lazy naps on rainy afternoons, the healing power of a hug, the comfort of a warm bubble bath, and the sensuality of skin on skin. I believe in turning off the TV and talking until midnight, sharing what I have, even if it's only a little, and I believe in the incredible power of listening to the heart as well as to the words. I believe that it's easier to be cynical than it is to be positive, that honor is something worth striving for, even at cost to oneself, and that sometimes letting someone know you need them is the greatest gift you can give them. I believe in friends who tell the truth when you need it and are quick to distract you when it hurts too much, and I believe in laughter as the magic elixir for long term relationships. I believe that we already contribute to the culture, each of us just as we are, just who we are, and that the greatest gift of contribution is to be honest with that, to give what we love back, whether that is laughter or serious prose, limericks or Elvis on velvet, because the point is not to try to live to some standard of others, but to find our own and to enjoy living to the one we feel in our souls.
What do you believe?
