red: how was your first kiss? what do you love about yourself? when’s the last time you warmed your hands in front of a fire? would you rather watch a sunrise or sunset? what’s the best thing about summer?
how was your first kiss?my first kiss is now coloured with years of emotional abuse and disappointment and tainted with the realisation of being cheated on.
what do you love about yourself?i love that i stop to talk to all kinds of animals. puppies and cats but also birds and bugs and squirrels. i love that i always stop at the little pond in front of my bestie’s house to get nibbles on my fingertips from the fish. like, that’s seriously a thing about myself i would never change because it’s totally harmless and makes me so happy.(also, i love that i try really hard to make babies smile, because babies smiling is so good and everyone should try to make babies smile.)
when’s the last time you warmed your hands in front of a fire?hmmm...not counting candle flames, i think the last time i was around an open fire was the last time i joined my bestie and his family for some christmas tree burning? so around thanksgiving, i believe.
would you rather watch a sunrise or sunset?oooh. tough one. depends on how i’m feeling, i’d say. right now? i’m really big on sunsets. sitting out in the settling cool of a spring evening, drinking something warm, and watching the sky turn to fire before deepening to velvety darkness.
what’s the best thing about summer?the smell of sunscreen mixing with the smell of heat in the air. cicada song and cool grass against my bare feet. not getting weird looks for wearing flip flops ALL THE DAMN TIME.
