Soft/Hard Hard/Soft

Not too long ago, I noticed something new. It started with a friend's birthday party. We roared out candles and played a game called pretzel acrobatics. And we ate apples from barrels full of water. It was wild and very free and beautiful, and for those few hours it gave me a very pure and joyful outlook. I then became more interested in the act of playing itself because I found this liberated, fun, almost ecstatic feeling so valuable.
