When I speak of community, I mean the love that exists amongst a group of people. The energy they possess. Falling in love for the first time was so confusing that I don&#8217;t think I realized I was in love. Okay &#8211; perhaps I am applying the word &#8216;love&#8217; haphazardly. But then again, I&#8217;d rather be too liberal with my love than tight-hearted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am going to write more often until I work my way out of the doldrums and nightmares and reach a better place. See you along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Paul<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just realized that I fell in love with a girl who looked Alanis Morrisette around the same time that the video for &#8220;Hands Clean&#8221; video debuted.
