i have a hard enough time thinking of 3 things that make me happy.

30?

here are some thoughts that came to me in no particular order.

1. therapy
2. my father
3. my mother
4. my sister
5. my boyfriend
6. my friends
7. my job
8. the internet (i know)
9. youtube
10. kingdom hearts
11. a really juicy book. the kind that sits with you for weeks after you’ve set it down
12. kool-aid in the summer (the blue kind)
13. riding a bicycle
14. singing in the car
15. the enchiladas my boyfriend makes me (we can seriously get two dinners out of those suckers)
16. music (especially the kind i like enough to buy on vinyl)
17. falling in love
18. traveling
19. the moment i found my birth family in a rural little town across the sea
20. dead by daylight (ok any sane person would never say this game makes them happy, but i love hanging out with my friends while we play)
21. the mona lisa (i have no idea why seeing this in person was so joyful, it subverted every idea i had of it and i loved that)
22. wandering around countries that are not your own
23. that scene in stranger things where sadie sink rises into the air. you know the one. *chef’s kiss* superb moment in tv.
24. when you showed me attention for the first time
25. when you told me to never speak to you again
26. my apartment (i seriously love the vibe we’re starting to build here)
27. our cats, tucchi and wheezy (they are precious baby angels even if wheezy peed on my shoes)
28. the moment when you realize the trauma is now just a part of you, and not your entire existence
29. when we finally found the hotel in new jersey after walking from new york (why were none of the streetlights working that night)
30. the fact that things like this give me a chance to reflect and be grateful about what i have in my life. that makes me happy.
