Pleasure

When I realized that the only question at hand was, "How do I define pleasure?" and that I was truly in a country where people would permit me to explore that question freely, everything changed. Everything became....delicious. All I had to do was ask myself everyday, for the first time in my life, "What would you enjoy doing today, Liz? What would bring you pleasure right now?" With nobody's else agenda to consider and no other obligations to worry about, this question finally became distilled and absolutely self-specific.
