!!! i love this question. i don’t know what it says about me that i already have an answer for this:

it only takes a taste: easy, caramel lattes and coffee shop brownies (the ones that come all wrapped up?) and homemade cheesecake with berries

fragments of a boy in blue: the ocean and the sky, like i said, but also warm sand under my feet, the smell of dirt roads after morning dew, sunscreen and chlorine and the smell of shampoo and soap in the shower after a long day in the sun

vitamin, dopamine: this is gonna sound gross but sweat—more the sensation than the smell, sweat from so many bodies sticking together in the audience before a concert, sweat from exertion after long hours jumping on stage, sweat from being under the spotlight. but also perfume, a little on the fruity side, and scented candles, and key lime pie.

i don’t know if this makes any sense. it has a lot to do with how i’m feeling when i write, how much i’m able to see and hear and feel these stories as i write them. thank you for such a lovely question ^_^
