When you make up your mind to please only One,
you can wear navy blue with black. You can sit down where ever you like. You can stop in the middle of the sidewalk and watch the sky for awhile. You can stand in one place and eat your apple, or stand in one place just to stand there. You can spin when the urge strikes you, and giggle at the wind. You can snort and cry when you laugh, if you like. You can take your time in the sandwich line and at airport security. You can drink tap water and reuse plastic bottles too many times. You can smile at random strangers (but if you're a girl, only when you're in America). You can admit that you like the morning. You can be genuinely friendly to everyone, everywhere.
You don't have to be afraid of what people think of how you dance. Of how your hair looks or if your shoes go with your pants. You don't have to be ashamed of eating dinner alone or in silence.
You needn't be annoyed when it rains or someone jostles you in line, when your paper or poem isn't good enough, or when you screw up a question, or when people ask you questions you just can't answer- whether it be because you don't know the answer or the person well enough.
You needn't be discouraged about having too much homework or worry about how you're gonna do all that and sleep too.
When you make up your mind to please only One, the little things start to change. And it's the little things that change your life the most. I think. At least for now. :)
