Maybe it’s hard to understand
Why I feel that I must test my tea before sipping it
But I simply do not wish to burn my tongue
I’d rather be able to savor it
Take it in all it’s splendid form
Than to never have drank it all
Because this is not complacency, you see
This is experiencing life in its full form
Prior to living to its full extent
Although it may seem that I am ruining myself, I am not. I am preparing to thrive like a the petals of a flower curling in on themselves at night.
