Rain (duh)
Somewhere to hear the rain
A favorite snack
A good book to keep you company
Your phone for when friends text
A warm blanket for around your shoulders
A mug of some hot drink to keep your hands warm

Then, simply enjoy

the third season

the air hinting at what's to come
the cool and crisp feeling
with a promise
that leaves my head reeling
speaking of leaves
they start changing
turning these colors
nature rearranging
the sky changes
instead of blue and bright
it's a stark grey
both dark and light
anywhere you walk
there's a crunch
of fallen leaves
all in a bunch
having to bundle up
layered to keep warm
hats, scarves, gloves
coats to weather a storm

that is the magic of the third season

drowning

i'm downing
struggling to keep my head up
while the world
the wonderful
the terrible
world around me
tries to take me under

the future

I want lazy days. You and me, relaxing in pajama pants, with mugs of hot drinks, preferably tea, with the rain pouring down outside. I want hours of reading books, thought provoking and emotion provoking. Us reading separately or you reading to me or me reading to me. I want days where we do nothing but enjoy each other's company. That's what I want most out of life: books, tea, rain, and you. Mostly you. Completely you

This is a tradition called 'spam'. Either my Fiancé or I will spam cute things to each other, about the future we want or reasons we love the other.

complexity

it struck me today
my life
is so much more complex
than even i thought

the cemetery

i wandered through a cemetery
i saw my ancestors
great, great grandparents
my grandfather's brother
i saw other people
babies who weren't a year
sisters who died on the same day
a father who outlived all his children
and to think
those people
those families
lived lives just as complex
and wonderful
as the lives we each have....

heartbreak

i used to have a board on pinterest
it was made so only i could see it
"heartbreak" was its name
i collected quotes
and songs and poems
in case i had heartbreak
now i don't have it
because i shall never have heartbreak
as i am never going to lose my heart
to anyone else
ever again

a sudden realization
