Yesterday, I wrote something particularly bitter. I guess I was having a bad day, but being a cunt doesn’t help resolve negative feelings. However, the opposite is true: if you do nice things, you feel better. I’ve done some nice things today, and I wanted to write a few nice things, as perhaps that’ll help too.
So here’s a few things that I love:
- When you see people try to find someone else’s fingers to hold their hand
- When you’re yawning but something catches you off guard and makes you half smile and half chuckle
- Big 1950s style music playing on the speakers just as someone enters the room
- The air and stillness between the night and the morning like around 4/5am
- When people cook me their favourite meals
- Dressing down to overly posh restaurants
- When you catch the eye of some little animal, like a lamb, and it really sees you
- Lying on rooftops with friends
- People’s reactions when you send them flowers for no occasion
- Friends that know you from all angles
- The curious few who saunter through life without a care
- When people recite poetry to me
- The triple combo of orange juice, a latte, and water when you’re deeply hungover
- That thing dogs do when they kinda nuzzle into you or when a person you like does it too
- Eye contact and a little head movement that says it all without speaking
- Hearing someone sing in the shower, when they really go for it
- Being there, I mean really there, for someone to lean on
- Hearing someone’s voice crack from emotion when they’re singing like in Biz Markie’s Just a Friend
- Inventing a little language with someone you love
I wonder if I can find a photographer to photograph each one of these as scenes, that could be cool.
Anyway, farewell for a little while.
I’m gonna be busy vibing out for the next few weeks so, in case I don’t see you good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
