Pep Talk: When you get your jeans out of the dryer and they’re all tight and different, it’s uncomfortable at first. Yet despite the unhappiness associated with constricting pants, you recognize that clean is an improvement and you accept that eventually your beloved jeans will fit easily again. Thanks for going with me on this simile because lots of improvements are like freshly...
pretty love, on the windowsill.
“I mean, other than your eyes, which are like an inviting, intoxicating cup of colombian coffee, your smile is. Beautiful. Unique. You.”
The words I’ve always wanted uttered to me, but it was by the wrong boy. Or was it? All I know is, love has never seemed less captivating. In spring of all seasons!
