July 4: Sauna


“My purpose in life is to experience and share love and laughter.”
“My purpose in life is to experience and share love and laughter.”
“My purpose in life is to experience and share love and laughter.”
It’s so simple. Why have I been making it so much harder all of this time?
I repeat my Envision Yoga mission statement over and over and over again in my mind. I lay on my back with my eyes closed. I can’t believe how much I love Envision Yoga. How much I’ve missed it. It makes me feel like I can fly! It makes me feel invincible! I can’t wait to share it with everyone. I hope they love it as much as I do. I always want people to love things as much as I do. 
Only four people here today. Everyone is following the rules.
I feel as happy as I’ve ever felt, ever. 
“My purpose in life is to experience and share love and laughter.”
Yeah, it is! And not in a big, obnoxious, intrusive way. I’m not going to force my love and laughter onto anyone. It’s not that big of a mission. 
I may never achieve anything. None of my thoughts may ever be useful. I may be a magnificent failure in everything I do. I laugh at myself. Fuck my ego. 
“My purpose in life is to experience and share love and laughter.” 
I’ve done it! I’m a fabulous success! So simple this whole time. 
“This is what we live for,” Rin said. She said it about EDC and she was right. All of the preparation, all of the pain, and pretending to be stronger than I feel, and all of it, all of it was for that moment when I could laugh, smile, dance and be with my friends.
An old Asian man smiles at me. He’s been staring at me, but that’s okay. Today, it’s okay. I smile back. 
Time: 20 minutes
