TOO MUCH?

Like the heavy pour instead of playing safe and measuring the ounces? / Why tell a story with my voice when I could use my whole body? /  Have you bitten into a raspberry and tasted it with all five senses simultaneously? /  Because it IS the greatest bite of homemade pasta I’ve had and I WILL lose track of how many times I say it moving forward - meaning it Every. Single. Time. / You think I’ve got too much energy? Wear sunglasses indoors then. There’s only one setting on this brightness -  no dimmer mode on this light switch. /  Why not laugh before I get to the punchline of my own joke? You think I’m telling this joke for you?  /  Why shouldn’t I blast the music with the windows down and scream sing to the song in the Starbucks drive though? The person in front of me paid for my drink because I brought her so MUCH joy. / Do you know how much magic there is in the simple act of lighting a candle? / Do you mean to say there’s too much milk in the Milky Way, too? / Why shouldn’t I show my excitement to see you rather than stuff it like the overflowing dirty laundry bin? / Why shouldn’t I have my neighborhood mapped not by the street names but by the flowers bloomed in the front yards? / Why shouldn’t I roll my shoulders back, use the full capacity of my lungs, and the even fuller capacity of my bleeding heart? / Why shouldn’t I? / Why shouldn’t you? / Why shouldn’t we?
