these are a few of my favorite things + these are a few things that i miss.

january 15, 2025

coffee cups with lipstick

negative degree weather, when my nose hairs freeze

snow on frozen lakes

snow on tree branches

snow on my eyelashes

messy food, overflowing tacos

pastries with filling

and overstuffed burgers

beds

weighted blankets

too many pillows

fluffy covers

and thick duvets

no flat sheet

waking up slowly

waking up early with the sun

hello sun

enjoying the morning quiet

only to snuggle back into

my pillows and drift

back to sleep

sex

making out

the shared heat

before

during

and after

especially after

lips

mine and y-

my tits

my short blonde hair

i’m a natural

how i smile

my lopsided, one dimpled smile

reading a book for hours

reading a book for so long my

eyes glaze over

and i forget what time it is,

my muscles are tight and i have to find water

emotionally intelligent conversations

open minds

open hearts

listening ears

listening hearts

telling my friend i miss her

missing my friend

loving my friend

i love you

feeling safe

feeling heard

feeling understood

being safe

being heard

being understood

making new friends

white girl dancing

painting with watercolors

saying hello

saying goodbye

ladybugs

mallard ducks

cats that cuddle

cats that ignore you

cleo.

doing nothing

being the opposite of busy

being bored

my mom’s mac n cheese

my mom.

evergreen everything

trees, walls,

sweaters, food

home

here

there

winnie the pooh

making home

building home

a home with you
