René Magritte - "Architecture in the Moonlight" (1956)

[survivaltipswithtardigrades]

homesick for arms that don't even want to hold me and enjoying fuckin' Bukowski? that the barometer of the Bad Place and I'm in it.

with a pretty bouquet from my ride or die best friend, of which i'm blessed with two.

today's grateful list:

- aware that I deserve to be treated nicely by someone who wants to be loved the way I love

- day out in the sunshine with my beautiful daughter, snacking on popcorn and reading the names of all the tulips

- hotter than i've ever been at 38, even if i'm the only one actually appreciating it
