a new way of trying

trying something new, or a new way of trying. let's try to be happy. let's make that the goal rather than something else. let's not try to prove anything, even to keep promises. let's try to be a good friend, since being a good friend makes us happy. let's try to up date our blog with astounding regularity and let's try to get internet famous using raw emotional blog posts as our fuel. let's try to jump off the high dive without holding our breath, let's try to scream with joy and have it be the right type of behavior in the moment. let's try to stay alive knowing that the possibility of death or destruction only makes us more alive. let's not shy away from holding hands or saying what we think. let's not worry so much, let's sneak in and out, and jump high and fall down sometimes. let's write on our hands all the time because we are writers and writing is an action and not some far off thing we do in the clouds, and sometimes we don't have paper. we would be sad if we lost our hands, unable to grope in the dark we would be reduced to something else, groping with our feet, a new way of trying.
