Rocking so much bod!
This line from Hedwig and the Angry Inch has been repeating itself in my head for the past week or two. It started the weekend of my birthday. I kept experiencing waves of happiness that felt bigger than the glow of being fêted; I felt like something positive was working inside me & that feeling persists, though it’s accompanied by an urge to discover why it feels so important.
As I was writing this I thought of another appropriate quote that Meryl Streep’s Clarissa Vaughn says in The Hours:
I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn’t the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.
I always remind myself, whenever I’m in a positive place emotionally that I need to live in that moment & right now I wake up every day happy, optimistic & best of all, possessing the ability to push the grey away. Whenever my mood threatens to darken, I’m able to climb out of it, encourage & embrace my positivity. That feels exciting, powerful even.

He couldn’t say she was beautiful because all he could see were her eyes. The rest of her face the pulpy lips, the blond sideburn fuzz, the nose with its candy-pink translucent nostrils-registered dimly as the two blue eyes lifted him on a sea wave and held him suspended… Lux held in one red fist a candy apple whose polished surface reflected the baby fat under her chin…Lux’s eyes, burning and velvet, glowed in the dim room.
