1: The taste of a crisp apple on a fall day. The sounds of an orchestra during a performance. Studying textbooks for a test the next day, only pausing to take a sip of black decaf coffee. A towering 18th century English mansion with cleanly trimmed bushes outside. The sound of wooden pencils brushing against each other at the start of an important meeting.
2: Honey dripping from a honeycomb. Soft yellow sweaters and yellow nail polish to match. Talking on the phone to a close friend while sipping a latte. Late night sleepovers talking about the future and hugging friends. The sound of chillwave music on a computer to relax to. Soft pink stationery with hand-drawn calligraphy letters and a box of self-care items beside.
3: The sounds of a grand piano floating through a concert hall, hands playing Beethoven quickly and skillfully. Scratches of quickly written letters on a blank page of a new notebook, taking thorough notes in class. A navy blue blazer against a white blouse and grey skirt for professionalism and perfection. White marble pillars and clean cut lines in modern architecture. A crown set atop a velvet pillow, sparkling in the light.
4: The fresh smell of a meadow after it has rained. Watching Shakespeare in a park at dusk, waiting for the suspense and inevitable betrayal to follow. Snowflakes falling onto bare trees, blanketing the trees and the ground. Drinking a chai tea latte in a small, local coffee shop with plants in macrame hangers. Charcoal pencils drawing romantic scenes.
5: The sound of old, yellowed pages turning. Libraries with tall, vaulted arches and marble statues. Midnight coffee runs to fuel the night’s work. A tan pullover sweater and athletic sweatpants, perfect for comfort and warmth while studying. Leaves crunching as nature is explored and learned, finding new animals and plant species. Secret passageways and tunnels with crumbling brick and tight spaces.
6: The sounds of early morning coffee from a coffeemaker, drip by drip pouring into a favorite mug. Black jeans and a utility jacket, perfect for comfort and holding items. Summer rain dripping down the windows, thunder booming in the distance. Light from candles beaming through curtained alcoves. Clocks ticking in otherwise quiet rooms. The beauty of another language, with quiet mystery and intelligence.
7: Plane trips around the globe, looking down at cities and around at the fluffy clouds. An early morning sunset on a beach, waves lapping against the shoreline. Brightly colored vacation houses lined against a road. Summery yellow dresses and jean jackets with pink-tinted sunglasses. The smell of a cloudless summer day, fresh dew, and fruit growing in a field.
8: The intensity of a game of Risk, moving troops and devising strategy with the competition. Fire blazing in a stone fireplace, red vases on the mantle. Black jean jackets and dark jeans with dark sunglasses and hoop earrings. The feeling of winning an argument, blood pumping through your veins and being fired up. Watching over friends at a bar or a party at night, staying close and asking if they are okay.
9: Warm blankets and fuzzy slippers. Watching Netflix until 3 in the morning, uncaring about the events of the next day. Creating beautiful masterpieces with all mediums, paints scattered on the floor and on their clothes. Small studio apartments with floor-to-ceiling glass, looking over a large city. The sound of glasses clinking together harmoniously.
