I'm starting a category called "I Love," in response to the post below.
It's a list of all the things I'm recently coming to realize I love. It may become a part of who I am. It may fade into a phase. I've never been given the opportunity to explore this part of myself before -- or rather, allowed myself the opportunity -- so here I am. This is also a way for me to keep track, and to remember, these parts of my identity.
I Now Love:
Candleholders.
Handmade soaps. The kinds with corners.
Reading inside large patches of sunlight.
Being by myself.
Walking and looking up.
Yoga To The People.
the sound of the cello.
spinach.
I No Longer Love:
Tall white mochas
High fructose corn syrup
jolly ranchers
casual relationships
My sunglasses
earrings
bangs
general tso's chicken
too much company
vulgarity
I Still Love:
Sunlight.
Union square.
hats.
poetry.
reading.
eating.
plaid.
blunts.
I think I'm developing an stronger affinity for:
Movie musicals.
The color white.
Black hickory floors.
Drinking things out of wineglasses.
Showering as soon as I get home.
black leggings.
diamonds.
french tips and sneakers.
kerchiefs.
