i have to believe somewhere, someone is trying a taco for the first time. someone is taking their first shower. someone is coming home to a new puppy.
i have to believe that this winter, someone new to snow will pull out a 5 dollar plastic sled and throw themselves down a hill, just to try it.
i think i'm probably lucky to be familiar with sunrises. i live in an area where the lightning bugs dance in their cocktail hours. i take chickadees for granted.
today i saw a tree that had changed to fall colors, and my first reaction was to grimace. i love autumn, but i hate the cold. i don't want it to be winter yet.
but how lucky, to live in a place where the leaves do change color - so bright and vibrant that people make treks from around the world just to look at what i grew-up-with. my mom's friend was a teacher in florida. she used to ask us to mail her an assortment of leaves, just to show her children - to prove to them yes, they really do turn yellow and orange and red.
last year i finally tried pumpkin spice for the first time. someone this year will find a new favorite knitting pattern. someone's favorite band will drop a new album. artists will make things we haven't yet imagined. there will be chalk drawings and magnet poetry and karaoke and recipes and laughing.
it is easy to forget. this was all new to me, once. and when it was - well, it was just all so easy to love.

thinking about them
Lost my fucking mind at a red light today
the queen is dead: an internet round-up (plus: argentinian journalist celebrates her death)
spent all day yesterday reading about alex aster and lightlark and it's so funny that she has 'follow your dreams 🥰' in her bio when the only reason she got published was her enormous wealth and privilege and connections and she really thinks that 6 figure deals and 7 figure movie deals can happen to anyone else as long as they work hard not to mention the excessive level of bragging in her tiktoks that comes across as tone deaf
all this hype is completely manufactured, none of this is organic, and, as she keeps saying in the tiktoks, all it took was one tiktok to catapult her to stardom. she does not talk about her writing process or her characters or Anything about writing at all, it's just all about her success and how she was rejected 'countless times' before tiktok. which imo really goes to show you the kind of product you can expect. and reading excerpts from the book, maybe there's a reason she was rejected for so long
all this bragging and nothing to back it up with.... embarrassing.
