this won't wash away

One night when we were like ten, Sebrina, Brenna, Selena and I (yeah all our names rhymed how cute) we had another all night adventure. At daybreak it rained and it was muddy. We made footprints all over the street. They remained there for such a long time. I always felt the way I had that night whenever I see a sunrise. So carefree and damned thrilled to be alive.

When I look at the moon, I remember that I knew the Thai name for it before the English one, Dad told us in England. I've forgotten now. One night at the beginning of HS I felt not so good. I called Shag and we talked all night and watched a really horrible movie on TV together. We went outside and we both looked at the moon and just knowing that he was looking at the same thing as me just filled me with so much relief.

I am thinking about everything tonight.

The last scene in Aimee and Jaguar is a flashback. I was already in tears watching it. But that last scene, Felice says that she wants life to be a series of perfect moments. I feel the exact same way. I take a lot of pictures because I never want to forget the way I feel. Things change and I think way differently than most others but I see beauty in so much and there are always moments that feel so perfect to me. It reminds me that there's a picture of me as a baby in Dad's living room, all smiles and Dad says, "You were a happy kid." and I say, "Yeah, what happened to that?" and he shakes his head, "What? You're still a happy kid."

And I am. I am such a happy kid. Sometimes I forget and I let others think that I don't believe it. I don't mean to. I can't imagine ever asking for more than what I have right now.
