What is sad about it is that I can't seem to find a way to explain this to others. If I could sit down with my 20-year old self, these words would make no sense (and be hokey). I cannot express these feelings my 17-year-old can understand, yet I feel as if I can still remember my 17-year-old feelings. I want to teach this lesson.
My fear is that the only way to learn this is to experience it, or that if I was able to teach this experience that having learned it would somehow diminish the knowledge. My other fear is that many never reach this level of comfort. I want to share this lesson.
