Life Appreciation Post #>1

Really, truly, sincerely appreciating everything in my life right now. Including:

  • Playing frisbee with friends in the quad from the second story bathroom through an open window
  • The various beautiful views of Providence clock towers (which do NOT all show the correct time) from the fourth floor of the library
  • Accidentally running for almost two hours in order to carry on an interesting conversation with my running buddy
  • All the people in my life right now
  • Being able to let go of complicated emotions 
  • Remembering other points in my life that I’ve had this general outlook
  • Foliage
  • How nice it’s been to spend five minutes staring at the sky once a day
  • The involuntary urge to smile a lot
  • The fact that I want to be both here and home so much at the same time
  • Realizing that no matter how my finals go, I’m going to make it out just fine. Because I’ve done my best, and that’s good enough for me.

I think this is enough for remembering later on.

Sometimes when I’m walking alone, I’ll see a person who stands out to me. Maybe they’ll be waiting to catch a bus or crossing the street or something else really mundane or uninteresting. But it hits me that this person had a whole life before this moment.

They were a child once who had big dreams that may or may not have been realized. They went on family trips, and celebrated holidays and got the flu. They’ve had years of happiness and heartache. They have a family and friendships and relationships that I will never know about and that thought simultaneously makes me feel insignificant but somehow important. My life is nothing special compared to everyone else’s and yet everyone’s life is so spectacular in that we’ve all had experiences for years that have led to right now.

Cosmic is the only word that comes to mind.

On a similar note, I drew this on my whiteboard today.

Too many feels because

  • The world feels like spring
  • Sitting alone at a coffee shop
  • Sentimental, romantic music playing at coffee shop
  • Too much time to think
  • Too much to anticipate
  • I am overly caffeinated.

You are my home because you are the place I choose to return to over and over again. The place that, even when painful, means the most. You are my home because you have made me who I am, whether or not you realized what you were doing. You are my home because you showed me the best kind of love there is.

Tomorrow around this time, I will be seeing Sigur Rós in Boston.

Thinking about this right now is so surreal.

Today

is tea, an embroidered shawl, remembering yesterday, guitar, stuffed bell peppers, composing, one conversation, rereading letters, anticipation, an unexpected horse-drawn carriage, wanting to intern for the EPA, the same music over and over again, reevaluating life decisions, looking out the window, solitude.

It’s been good.

Flowering Garden - Vincent van Gogh (1888) I would like for it to actually be spring soon, not just calendar spring. Go away, awkwardly enduring solid snow banks!
