There is beauty, but I can't find the right words. Emotion doesn't word well.

It's in my head, it's remnants of a delightful weekend filled with delightful people.

It's wishing people lived closer than they do, that I could do like when I was in college and have a short or medium walk or bus ride to visit people I love. It's that Arisia feels like college and like why I love Melbourne, in some ways. It's easy touch and no need for a time sense and people being a few floors or rooms or text messages away. It's having everyone I'm dating in the same room, hotel, space. It's knowing that a cuddle pile could happen at any moment and that I would be comfortable and safe with everyone I'm touching. It's looking up from a silly game or a book or a meal, or down into the atrium, or wandering around aimlessly, and smiling to see people I love. It's having so many people to hug, having so many people that I - who is partly face blind, bad with names, and bad at remembering people without significant interaction - recognize and actively seek out for a quick hug or conversation.

It's tangible, visible, tactile, immersive love. It's beauty shared and experienced. It's talking to complete strangers to tell them I like their clothing, smile, joy. It's inviting them to join at least briefly in my own joy.

It's talking to a friend I lost years ago. And having it finally not hurt.

It's joy, and it's being _so_ tired and brain mushy. It's lasting out the entire con, and having people express surprise at my continued presence. It's wearing fun clothing, it's getting constant compliments on the slippers [livejournal.com profile] bbbsg gave me years ago. It's random silliness and hunting people down before changing to different clothing because said people would definitely appreciate said clothing. It's getting to play with fun clothing that is entirely insufficient for this time of year, but perfectly appropriate for indoors at Arisia. It's lending people fun clothing, jewelry, glowy hair things. It's seeing people _happy_.

It's following someone to find out where she got her sparkly hair thing, and buying some from her. And then accidentally selling a bunch more to people I passed by because the glowy blue and purple filled me with _so much glee_. It's buying things to exchange later with a sweetie.

It's being threatened to be kept in one of my longest term friend's pocket, and then having a couple other people whose existance makes me happy also be people wanted in pockets for later hugs.

It's being told I have good taste. It's laughing and touch and joy.

There were also bits that were less good, but this post is not about those.
