♡ the man who I thought was asking for directions, but actually did a 180 to tell me I was beautiful at 7:45am (I hadn’t even brushed my teeth yet)

♡ the ability to recognize that the way the man said it was creepy, but move on quickly and not feel icky about it (no!more!girlish!guilt!)

♡ the leaf that fell right in front of my face by the park

♡ my rocket volume maybelline mascara on top of [my] Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man

♡ Blue by Marina

♡ the apple I ate at about 4:48pm

♡ writing 7 and a half pages with my left hand while eating dinner with my right

♡ multi-tasking and listening to The Velvet Underground
