things that are not real:
- salami (never had/seen = not real)
- a place where someone belongs with no issues
- perfect parents
- yesterday, because every day is today
- the shadows in corners
- love without sacrifice
- blue raspberries (bc its blueberry and raspberry!)
things that ARE real:
- hearts
- the itchy feeling of sweater sleeves
- the sun the moon and the sky
- grass when you lie down in it
- the sound of rain when it hits the metal roof
- human connection
- pretty places i (and you) have never been
- orange juice
- me
