from our unicorns,
the ones that get away,
but they are never
fully gone,
they are there still,
roaming in the grassy fields
of our souls.

Some shit that isn't as strange as you think
~Molly Burford
—Laughing at something no one else finds funny. Finding the perfect retort to an argument that happened seven years ago. Remembering something as far more beautiful than it actually was.

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.

~ Franz Wright, in God's Silence
— Walking home, for a moment
you almost believe you could start again.
And an intense love rushes to your heart, and hope. It's unendurable, unendurable.

My sweetest cat nephew, Leo, was a rescue kitty during the pandemic. I used to hold him on my chest in my coat to keep him warm. He was found hiding in a box, definitely not thriving.
He still loves boxes and is doing well.
Named after Leopold's ice cream in Savannah, Ga.

when you give a person,
just enough comfort,

Don't Hesitate
~ Mary Oliver
—If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate/It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins./Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty.

I still sit in your chair for hours
