It's the little things...

The simple (and sometimes overlooked) joys of everyday life: a smile from a stranger, beauty in nature, hot chocolate in a fat mug, a man cooing at a baby, art, panting dogs, a much-loved, well thumbed book, soul-touches-soul conversations; anything that lifts you up really. Plus a few complaints about humanity thrown in occasionally. This is my attempt at scrapbooking.

“To be in favor of solitude is not to be against community or friendship or love. It’s not that being alone is better, just that without the experience of it we block ourselves from discovering something enormously beneficial, perhaps even vital, to selfhood. Who are you when you are not a friend, a partner, a lover, a sibling, a parent, a child? When no one is with you, what do you do, and do you do it differently than if someone was there? It’s hard to see someone fully when another person is always attached to them. More importantly, it’s hard for us to see our own selves if we’re not ever alone.”
