learning to love life again...its like...
It's like smelling flowers at trader joes just because they looked pretty and remembering
i love how flowers smell
And its also like the feeling you get when someone compliments your outfit when you just spent the last 30 minutes before leaving your apartment thinking that you’ve never looked worse
not everything i think is true
It’s like coming home from the longest most dreadful day ever only to be greeted with your made bed
i love when i think of future me
It’s also like getting the most bone crushing hug from your grandpa after 3 months of not seeing each other
he still smells the same
It's like falling asleep first at the sleepover
i feel that safe with you guys
It's like knowing you so well, I know exactly what you're gonna say before you say it
we know each other very well
It’s like when you go out to eat with your family and the waiter asks “what are we celebrating tonight” to which you all respond with, “life”
im so lucky
It’s like when you’re in a hurry and suddenly every perfume on your shelf decides to fall when you pick one up
maybe i should slow down
It’s also like the feeling of someone remembering a minor detail in your story you told them two weeks ago
i am heard
It’s like looking in the fridge and remembering you still have one more ginger ale left
i needed that today thank you ginger ale gods
It's like the bus driver waiting for you as you run to the bus in your platform shoes in the rain
he saw me
It's like laying out on the couch with your roommate until 1 a.m., talking about everything and nothing
our couch will always be here
It’s like the smell of the warm weather approaching with hints of excitement and a lot of possibility and a lot of underarm sweat
seasons are changing just like me
It’s like I tend to forget these things are what make me feel alive

-i wrote this in a moment of realization, i don't even know how long ago- enjoy
