♦ good things: seeing sunshine fill the room as you open the curtains, the sound of the ocean, when the airplane takes off, when the deadline for a project is extended, a scent that reminds you of a good memory, when someone text back instantly, realizing it's friday, your favorite part of a song, untouched snow, remembering stories about how you met someone, waking up just before your alarm goes off, when he smiles at you, deep conversations with your best friend, good morning texts, that one person who knows you better than yourself, waking up next to the one you love, peeling an orange in one piece, accomplishing something before the microwave beeps, freckles.
