being near the ocean
being near the woods
getting my feet wet
the excitement of learning something new
the kind of night that flies by way too fast
making egg rolls with my family
getting dragged out to the bar by my roommate
the smell of orange blossoms
Chinese food that never disappoints
BBQ
snuggling close to The Boy, even when I’m hot
knowing that someone has my back
talking to strangers, and having a good reason for it
the camaraderie of a newsroom
making fun of whatever the Mayor’s doing now, or even knowing what it is that he’s doing
whispers he thinks I don’t hear
