Yawp.
I wish you the best of dreams, filled with flowery fields and evergreen trees, sweeping sensations of oceans with life that teems. May the chemicals swirling in the midsts of your mind be calmed and renewed and refreshed, so that upon waking you greet the sunlight and embrace the day with a lover’s warmth, not stopping until you have risen together, ready to explode into the far reaches of...
