Like falling – endlessly – and then discovering you have wings.
Like getting out of the right side of the bed every morning, even when you don’t.
There are types: there is the world-being-comfortable type of love and there’s the lust-and-passion type of love – I think I like that one better.
Something that you can’t describe or put in a box. It changes daily and surprises you when you least expect.
Oh when was the last time I didn’t?! I’m a crier. I cry. All the time.
Learning to get back up.
Mornings. Playing music, fresh coffee, dippy eggs and soldiers, my girlfriend – what’s not to love?
Regrets. That’s no way to live.
Offer kindness always.
A good listener.
