01-26 8 months ago

Deciding to redo this, as I am in a fantastic mood as of late. :)

1. Bedsheets, bones, and warm sunlight.
2. Origami birds.
3. Chemistry and drawing isomers.
4. Experiencing so many feelings that it is nearly disgusting.
5. Film, cameras, developing fluid, all the jargon that accompanies such things.
6. Photos of the sea.
7. Honesty, self-expression, and casting away all threads of self-doubt in a single defining moment.
8. Writing letters to foreign and anonymous recipients.
9. Living, giving, and a rare reliance in the human race.
10. Handmade things.
11. Foreign languages, both spoken and written.
12. Burrowing in blankets and reveling in their warmth.
13. The sudden flood of inspiration: swiftly, furiously, and fiercely.
14. Ink, in any color.
15. Dreaming about the future and the probability of anything and everything.
16. Washing laundry, folding laundry, and hanging laundry to dry.
17. Painting bedrooms!
18. The bitter-sweetness of longing, because it is always followed by something incredible.
19. Seeing others create and feel proud of themselves.
20. The first breath of autumn after a painfully long, oppressively heavy summer.
21. Terrible b-rated horror movies and foreign films.
22. Stretching, creaking joints, and warming fingertips.
23. All-consuming, over-the-top, and inconvenient love that fills the heart to the brim.
24. Making life more beautiful than it already is.
25. Heavy eyelids, freshly washed quilts, and a steady downfall of rain.
26. Haaaaaaircuts!

Sorry if this is a little off topic...

...but I think your current status is terrifically ingenious, love it :)

On a more relevant note, I have to say that 10, 13, 19, 22 and 23 also give me endless bouts of happiness! The time of the day where I’m happiest though is the split-second serenity of the moment just before I’ve woken up properly and I’m still half-asleep…in that moment, anything is possible. No fear, no pain, just bliss.

Sorry if you didn’t really care about that by the way! Keep up the good work with the list :)

Oh, thank you very much! :)

I know what you mean about being half-asleep, although I have to admit that I haven’t gotten much sleep lately. My bed seems to reach the peak of its comfort as soon as my alarm rings, haha.


gesticulations has gotten 4 cheers on this entry.
