I don’t know if it’s the vagaries of this rainy weather, the inaccurate societal reveries of Valentine’s Day, or the fact that I’ve eaten my weight in cheese this past week, but it’s felt like a lot of hearts have been hurting these past few weeks. I’ve been listening to friends grip onto threads of their constructed truths as they unravel rapidly. It seems like things are moving either too fast or too slow or Too Real. And Too Real is the scariest surplus to battle with.
So here’s a little list of the truths I find propel me forward, through the stuporous nights I can’t always remember, and the vexatious people I definitely can’t control. A few things to be thankful for:
This Drake album
Cheese spreads
Hack Mondays (a recent concept where my friends and I get together and work on our creative projects)
Dinners that last so long they kick you out of the restaurant because we can’t leave our conversation
My new tattoo 😀
Korean barbecue
Bai water
The fact that nothing is permanent
Long hikes that end in too many new inside jokes
Upcoming trips (Seattle tomorrow!)
Coworkers who bring you cheesecake when you need it most
Friends who not only hear you, but truly listen to what you are saying
Perfectly poached eggs
