contemplating.

i love the rain.

i love feeling inspired.

and i love any excuse to throw on boots.

here’s something very melancholy about the rain…and yet i find it soothing.

i’ve had gordon lightfoot on repeat. he’s a cynic. i like that coupled with the rain.

rain is good for inspiration. or maybe it’s sadness? the rain made me nostalgic…and yet much to my surprise, i didn’t get stuck in that emotion. i guess i shouldn’t be surprised. i’m not meant to be sad. but something about gloomy weather has always made me gloomy on the inside. today is an exception. and why shouldn’t it be? after all, i have pink rain boots. and i love having an excuse to wear them.

i wish i could stay in bed and write all day. i believe that’s what rainy days were meant for…reading and writing.

i’m contemplative today. and i like it.

the oracle.

confession time: i’ve turned into the crazy cat lady.

except he’s a dog.

and smaller than a cat.

the other night i found myself peppering my pup with questions…
like he’s really gonna tell me:
what to eat?
who to date?
when to sleep?

he’s not the oracle. he’s a dog. and it was clearly waaaaay past my bedtime.

first things first.

i love how when my dad and i talk on the phone the first thing he says (after hello) is ‘i love you.’

most people wait till the end of the conversation to slip in the sentiment, but not baba.

it’s the first thing out of his mouth when he sees me, as well.

i love that he’s the reason i love books. he gifted me more love than i ever knew was possible and with other people’s words.

i’ve never had a bigger fan or a more emphatic cheerleader.

i don’t know how i got so lucky.

..but i’m damn grateful for my great fortune.

i love you back.
