Life. All it's quirks. The things that take your breath away. The times when you can't believe this is really happening. The sun. Snowflakes. Pouring rain. When the leaves turn and the whole world is painted crimson and gold. Road trips. The sound of waves crashing. Holding your breath as long as you can. Talking with good friends about things that don't make sense to anyone but you. The smell of saltwater. Fresh cut grass. My crazy cat. Good music. Being the subject of gossip. Towels just out of the dryer. High speeds. Exhilarating heights. Falling in love. Flowers. Acting strange in public. Falling down. My niece. Things that make me smile. Vintage clothing. Flip-flops. Bikinis. Laughing until I can't breathe. Being a rock star. Good food. High heels. Music. The beach. The stars. Campfires. Catnaps.
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO-HOO, what a ride!'"

My parents. They constantly are saving my ass and I'm eternally grateful. They have done so much for me, I'll never in my life be able to make up for it. I look up to them and hope one day I'll be able to be even a fraction of the good people they are.
