All the good things in this life are disheveled: running on the beach disheveled, riding a roller coaster disheveled, making love disheveled, dancing disheveled, laughing out loud disheveled, riding a bicycle disheveled, kiss the person you love disheveled.
Have you ever observed the expressions of most of the people on the street? Don't you want to mess with them? Surely they have not yet allowed life to ruffle them, surely they have never stopped to think that the day they are experiencing will not repeat itself and that you have to enjoy every minute and squeeze the whole marrow of life.
"May life undress you and love undress you"
(Ulysses Sanchez)
You decide to get disheveled
I don't want to be a flawless, combed woman who always walks straight, who is always serious, who exercises every day, who goes on a diet to be leaner, who always arrives on time, who always says what others want say and do what others want him to do. I decided to order myself to be happy and to live life, the one that ruffles.
Fall in love
When was the last time you let yourself go? It has probably been too long; the time has come to get rid of the prejudices that limit you, in order to live the present moment with intensity.
If you like someone, tell them; if you want to kiss that person you like so much, kiss him; if you need to say "I love you", do it. Nobody can decide who to fall in love with and love is always a risk. Be courageous and live the experiences you want to have.
"I have loved to the point of madness, but what others call madness is the only way to love for me."
(Françoise Sagan)
Cry with or without a reason
If when you see a leaf fall from a tree, your eyes become wet, let the tears flow. If you get excited in front of someone, express your feelings. You can cry for joy or pain, no one can put a limit on your tears. Let them gorge and be yourself.
Sing and dance as if no one sees you
If you listen to one of your favorite songs and want to sing, do it; let your hair fly, let the music ruffle you, dance and sing as if nobody saw you. It doesn't matter if you do it right or wrong: it is your moment, in which you are enjoying your life and your song; what you hear is the melody of your life.
Kiss with passion
Kiss with your whole body, with your whole soul, feel how the emotion of a kiss floods your heart. Mess with your kisses and let the kisses mess you up. Feel how your lips slide on the edge of a kiss that you are offering with all the passion that is in you.
Embrace with all your soul
Offer hugs with your whole soul, feel the strength of your arms as you surround a person with them and lean on his shoulder, feel how that hug protects you, because it is warmth and life. No matter where you are or what time it is, hug when your heart tells you.
Feel your emotions
You will happen to feel anger, fear, happiness, sadness, hope ... The important thing is that you learn to feel these emotions, to listen to what your soul has to say, to understand yourself and to be at peace with yourself. Expressing what you feel does not have to be a cause for shame, you have to release what you really are and let out what is in you. Even if you feel vulnerable, you must know that getting excited means being brave, it means daring to open your soul to others and to yourself.
And if life is in your way ...
If after every hug, every kiss, every dance, every song, you look in the mirror, you will see a disheveled person, with a beautiful hopeful smile painted on his face, hopeful towards that life that makes you yourself. If life is in your way, you will know that you have lived and been very happy.
"Make love, open up, eat tasty food, kiss, hug, dance, fall in love, relax, travel, jump, go to sleep late, get up early, run, fly, sing, make yourself beautiful, make yourself comfortable, admire the landscape, have fun and, above all, let life ruffle you. The worst that could happen to you is that, looking at yourself in the mirror smiling, you have to comb your hair again ”.
(Quino, Mafalda)
