It’s amazing how much you can fit into a year.

when someone asks if you’re doing okay

I fall in love a lot. Every day, I see someone who sparks my intrigue, someone whose mere existence seems remarkable. I fall in love with people whose stories I do not know, since to me, their stories are apparent in their smile lines and fingertips. Every day, I see a landscape that pulls the breath straight from my throat. My heart expands with a desire to spend hours burrowing my body in the nooks and living on the cusp of wonder. I fall in love with places I can only dream, since my mind creates worlds beyond my imagination, and that’s enough for me to feel safe. Everything around me demands to be felt. Everything I see strikes matches within me. The universe is heart wrenchingly beautiful, and there has always been enough for me to fall in love with every day. I’m a rather tiny human, but I’ve been falling in love since day one.
