Just all these feelings are sarntitg to roll up in my body. My niece’s laughter, my nephew trying to teach me how to Dougie. It did not go well. It didn't go well, I still don't know how to do it. How I can look into my partner's eyes and just by looking into his eyes, I can feel love in my body. All these feelings are starting to gather up in my body.

Original Text


(Laughter)

When you bite into an orange and the juice squirts into your mouth, and then there's the little bite in your jaw, there's a little bite in your jaw because it's sour. Or when you first bite into a fried plantain. Or getting into clean sheets, that feeling gathering in my body, all the feelings, getting into a hot shower, listening to a song that you love for the very first time, I'm hearing Stevie Wonder "As" playing, how I feel my spirit when I see the color yellow. Just all these feelings are starting to roll up in my body. My niece’s laughter, my nephew trying to teach me how to Dougie. It did not go well. It didn't go well, I still don't know how to do it. How I can look into my partner's eyes and just by looking into his eyes, I can feel love in my body. All these feelings are starting to gather up in my body.
