tagged by secretforkeeps to list 15 things that make me happy
1) the depth and texture of trees in the late afternoon sunlight
2) giving the cats boxes (cats exploring boxes)
3) music I can sing along to (loudly, badly, with feeling and interpretive dance)
4) that moment when you’re jogging or moving fast in general and you take a weird obstacle with a perfectly timed step and you’re like HARDCORE PARKOUR
6) pretty things I can hold in my hand with smooth-ish textures and some weight to them, like polished stones or cracked geodes or iron figurines
7) finding shiny things on the ground
8) the whole experience of biting into a fresh, crisp apple (Gala preferred) with the texture of the skin and the scent and the taste and the snap when you break chunks off and devour them
9) a lot of food, actually, but pretty sushi rolls! especially free sushi ‘gifts’ from the chefs after you buy them a beer! and then everyone is happy~
10) making small children smile and laugh and believe (in themselves, in the world, in other people)
11) confidently knowing everything on a test and feeling like a smart badass
12) laying on cool grass under a tree on a hot day (that brief moment of perfection before bugs and itchiness)
13) new shoes that could kill a man
14) when the makeup comes out on-point (or nail polish, that too)
15) when friends give you honest compliments like “I know I can count on you to keep your word” and you hoard it forever and ever
extra: those really terrible monster movies on the sci-fi channel
