no yes no

awesome:

windswept beaches in the off season

shells (both intact and fragments of larger, more mysterious creatures)

free pens

unexpected silliness from others (my silliness is passé, I fear)

strange conversations

odd facts about odd topics (i.e. the world’s largest tire or the youngest girls to give birth)

perfume oils

comfort in one’s own skin (an elusive thing I close in on moment by moment)

non-awesome:

insomnia

coughing fits

traffic (once a daily staple, now a foreign concept for me)

the heartbreak of watching someone’s insecurity create painful behavior

the lack of teletransportation

chapped lips
