I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift."

the little things

Right now I am sitting in Paradise Cafe. I came here to study but got sidetracked and now I'm blogging. Blogging is better. So there are times where I feel somewhat uncomfortable going places by myself. This is not a place where I feel like that. The inside is so warm and cozy and I love just hogging a nice big booth with nothing but homework, diet coke, and some DELICIOUS chocolate chip cookies. Did I mention that Paradise makes the BEST chocolate chip cookies on the whole planet? because they do. Anyways. I'm just so grateful to be here, alone or with company, enjoying the peace and being somewhat productive. It is nice to see the joy that a little alone time can bring.. or a little diet coke.
