things that make life suck a little less (i)
[15 for the 15th day of the year.]
mornings when i wake up after just the right amount of sleep and my bed feels all cozy and warm but not at all tempting.
my boyfriend, who rubs my neck and massages my hands and kisses my head and whispers "i'm here, everything's gonna be okay."
moments when i feel such overwhelming gratitude towards my mom, who almost always fails but tries so hard to show me she loves me.
progressive churches where you don't have to be straight and physically immaculate to feel welcome.
food. specifically mozzarella sticks paired with pesto and some warm milk tea to wash it all down.
when a cat voluntarily walks up to and brushes its body against me.
witnessing/receiving random acts of kindness.
getting a chance to show/do a random act of kindness and not messing it up.
the black cat that welcomes us home every night, even though it doesn't live in our house.
compliments like 'your hair is so pretty.' 'you look like a doll.' 'i love your eyeshadow.' 'you're so good at writing.' 'your voice is so soothing.'
the existence of language and the power it holds.
coconut oil, which solves 1/4 of all the problems in my life.
having two hands, two feet, two eyes, two ears, and a chance to experience the world in all its beauty.
the knowledge that i matter to people, no matter how few.
i want to make this a thing. can you do something similar to make this a thing, please? @dyingjuliets? @studefyy? @tinypsychology? @yourlocalcomputernerd? @taelorstudies?
