I love this. I haven’t felt like this since about … 14 months ago? It’s a feeling that only comes from an amazing piece of music that for some reason makes perfect sense to me at a perfect moment in time.

My insides feel like they are bubbling.

And it’s like there’s a fist clenched tight around my heart, squeezing it harder and harder, with every breath I take.

I want something to burst from out of my rib cage.

I can’t stop smiling.

I want to share this with everyone.

But I can’t.

Because I know “Us” won’t mean the same thing to everyone or perhaps anyone, ever. I may not even feel this same way about it this time tomorrow.

But for now …

I’m so happy
