to my small friend, what’s your most recent favorite thing you’ve looked at in the real world that made you go “huh wow ok I’m living, I think I like this world”?

ahh hello my giant pal, what a lovely question <3 i'm feeling really happy rn after seeing some friends and i've had a rough couple of weeks so i'm going to give you a little list.

  • i saw a pile of pretty yellow/gold blossoms that had been blown from some trees today. i kicked and played in them like i used to do with oak leaves in autumn when i was a child.
  • i saw some friends and had a few drinks and laughed so much i felt sick with it. it really feels special to have people in my life i've known for so long, especially as I feel i've had to break and restart my life several times.
  • talked to my partner (really i talked at them) over froyo. i switched from talking about dance, to politics, to movies/film making, to lotr, facism, music and probably way more. the whole time they sat and listened to me with a stupid smile on their stupid face and its stupid how nice that feels.
  • my colleague went through two years of historic back issues of a weekly paper to try and find a photo of a clients dead grandmother. the client didn't have any photos of them left, because of traumatic reasons, and my colleague refused to give up until they did it. i helped go through the microfilm and got to be there when she showed the client the photo we found, the client cried they were so happy <3
  • i started reading some new poetry and it is reminding me that there does appear to be some aspects of the human condition that are almost universal. love, grief, longing ect. its very good.
  • saw some fvckboi looking dude run the full length of the high street to catch up to a parent with a pram because the kid dropped their teddy. the parent looked so grateful and relieved when he handed it over. little acts of kindness are so lovely.
  • woke up to a cup of tea already made for me waiting on my bedside table, living the good life fr <3
