Two: affection
I’ve made a habit out of saying I have never been in love. True, thus far romantic relationships have eluded me, but why am I basing my history of love on that fact alone? The truth is that I fall in love all the time: with people, pieces of people, thoughts, words, places, colours and sounds. With everything. I continually find myself at a loss for words because, when it comes down to it, the world is an incredibly beautiful place.
Things I fell in love with in 2009:
Sleeping in apple-green cars. Humid motel rooms. The togetherness of funerals. An aspiring chef in a yellow sweater. Grandpa socks. Classic horror films. Surprise birthday parties. Lake ferries. Moon on the water. Psilocybin. A girl who, without fail, ruins her tights hours after buying them. A boy who dreams of becoming prime minister. Two out of three roommates. Noodle bowls. Laying low. Diane Landry. Almost every new band I heard. 7 AM muffin runs. Parking lots. Amateur musicals. Brie. My best friend, all over again. Returning. Soccer fields. Night fountains. A boy with big brown eyes who stood on a bed in a dark room for half an hour by himself. A girl who nurses her Bud Light Lime. Conversations in patio chairs. Keeping busy. Knowing that I have the power to change this.
