So, 2014, in you I resolve to retrieve my youth and kick all these years of overrated experience out of the window. I still want to dream, dance, write, love, listen, play, laugh, fall, rise and run...I still want to see God in the simple and yet inexplicable things and people

that surround me. So I'm taking back my love. I am heading out to make it right. Forget fear, caution, boundaries. I'm coming out.

Do have a productively spontaneous 2014. I love you pieces.
