in a wide perspective, today was a good day. i reflected on alot of simple things, and in return i learned alot about my life, just life in general.

witnessing passion for something is beautiful. whether it's listening to someone sing outloud to a song they love, or seeing someone draw a flower, or watching someone try and figure out the right chord's on the guitar. to me it's so powerful to see someone so devoted to something they hold dear to them. it put's a smile on my face, and part of me is jealous. i'm working on finding that passion, something i'm talented at, something i can find that much joy in.

little children are so innocent, and their hearts are bigger than we think. today i babysat my pretend little cousins, grant and ava. they're really jess' cousins, but seeing as she's my sister at heart, it's all the same to me. anyways, its just amazing to me, the innocence of a 3 year old. ava-she's so adorable. she made me breakfast out of play-do. she drew me a picture of a choo-choo train, and as i was leaving she said "mego, today you were my best friend. you could come back tomorrow if you want." and grant, her six year old brother, is the greatest. he showed me how to turn on the lights in the bathroom because he said he was scared of the dark sometimes, and he didnt like feeling like that, and i wouldn't either. it's funny how at 3 & 6 children can be so aware of fear, and love and friendship. it's kind of inspirational.

laughing is so important. today jess and i hung out with kyle and there wasnt a second where i looked in the mirror and saw a frown. it's so important to surround yourself with people who will love you unconditionally, in all your faults and disgusting habits, and stupid jokes, and silly faces. they will bring you to life, in a sense, when you are dead to the rest of the world. understanding between best friends is so powerful and i know it get's me through each day.

my best friend and i will forsake all others for eachother. she gives her pepperoni and red starburst to me and only me, while i make a bologna sandwhich without mayonaise, because i know how much she hates it. we will pick eachothers boogers if necessary, and wipe eachothers tears without the discontent of getting eyeliner on our shirts. that is love, right there.

so that's what i learned today :) it's okay if you didnt read it all. you are forgiven. i just wanted to share some smiles with everyone. i hope everyones doing well. i love you all. ♥

i do not want to dread the sunrise
& as you're crystal eyes embrace mine
i know i am safe. i have everything i need
