"It was in this moment that I fell in love with Daisy, surrendering completely, whole-heartedly, and without conditions. No longer was it about self-confidence, or status, or even sex for me, but rather the tenderness of her soul. Can you remember the first time that feeling stirred you, uninhibited love? The phrase may seem a bit childish now that we're all grown up, drained of our youthful desires, dissillusioned and pounded into the mature consumers that society asks us to be. But if you're able to stroll down memory lane and look back at that shelf of stored-up (lost) passion, then maybe you'll be able to peel away the apathy and catch a glimpse of that untarnished ideal, because there can be no better high than the first time it takes you in."
