Carnival state of mind

I am in love with the carnival state of mind. I am in love with the oddities, the spectacles and in love with the show. In moments of wonder there are no discriminatory factors. Every person is no longer an individual, but rather one piece of a collective gasp. At a carnival there are no boundaries, everything is part of the game, everything is up for grabs, nothing is off limits. I am an advocate for finding yourself, but I suggest you try losing yourself sometimes as well. When caught up in the moment I find myself most at home, just one onlooker in the sea of an audience. Cheeks sore from excessive laughing, eyes tired from endless staring, mind worn out from mouthfuls of wonder, a carnival is a great place to be, a temple tent dedicated to decadence and awe, a place where everyone is welcome. A somewhere that takes your breath away, larger than billboard people to awe over, and warmth and creativity and wonder all in a carnival state of mind.
