lovin’ lately…

…because of the free furniture on the side of the road.

…because of strangers who will play a card game together to show that we’re not really [strangers].

…because of the shiny silver “you’re beautiful” stickers I see as I stroll.

…because I get to work hard and laugh at work.

…because I realized kindness is the number one thing that makes us bright.

…because the sun shines.

…because of disposable cameras’ & snail mail’s comeback.

…because inflation somehow dodges Costco’s food court.

…because of random friend FaceTimes.

…because of the rise of women’s sports.

…because brat.

…because of new & old besties becoming bestie-r by day.

…because style is part of my self-care.

…because “I just want to feel like myself again” sits in my past.

…because of the most uplifting three words that got me through then & now:

proud of you.
