Things to be grateful for
(I make a gratitude list at the end of every day. Here are some of my favorite items from the lists made over the past two months.)
insane, stomach-scrambling, hopeful nervousness
allowing myself to experience pure untainted joy
pretty gay boys who awkwardly compliment me
excessively physical improv games
eye contact from across the room (or closer)
waking up slowly, gradually, & lazily with the help of music & sunlight
Dustin Hoffman
having a clean creative space
men who roll up the sleeves of their formal shirts
playing chess with my best friend in her hippietastic living room while blasting Fleet Foxes
elaborate kissing fantasies
meditating on the roof
singing in the shower
moving forward
Sex Matters by Osho, which is fascinating
optimism springing eternal
cashmere sweaters
waiting at bus stops in brisk, early autumn weather
the phrase "go steady with me"
feeling like a part of a whole
the realization that more enthusiasm is always better
people who don't know that their hair is sticking up
making funny people laugh
giving people silly nicknames (e.g. "Sexy Irish Boy")
noticing that cute people are watching me
prattling on about The Boy to anyone who'll listen
improv improv improv improv forever
independent pizzerias
silently sitting really really close
big toothy childish grins
intellectual debates on the subway
laughing so hard I start to cry & can't breathe
the all-consuming bliss of unity
people who say, "Tell me everything"
chocolate peanut butter ice cream
unabashed vulva worship
the ways in which we all inspire one another
moments where I realize that something I previously considered a hindrance is now a blessing
nervous laughter
walking home in the dark holding a teddy bear
when other people's happiness rubs off on me
smelling so awesome I make myself swoon a little
pizza
freaky universal serendipity
whimsical typography
channeling nervous energy into something great
