my happy list

it all started when i was flipping through this silly book, '14.34875 gazillion things to be happy about.' and i found myself repeatedly saying, "but that one SUCKS! peas do not make me happy." peas are terrible.

so i vowed right then and there to make a happy list of my very own, a collection of silly & serious things that never fail to make me smile when i need it. and here it is! i hope it will make you smile, too, because honestly there's a lot of sucky shit in the world and i think we could use some more happiness.

enjoy!

my dream home

i am utterly in love with everything about this space.

when i grow up, i want to live in a big ol’ renovated loft just like this. i want to build the walls and then paint the walls and create this gorgeous cozy cocoon, made from empty space and raw materials and my own two hands. i think that would be just about the coolest fucking thing ever, to say you built your own living space out of nothing.

and yes, it’s kind of a bittersweet longing, when i think about what i maybe could’ve had; but this is a HAPPY list and not a pity party. so! i’m not going to dwell on the past. i’m going to look ahead, for ways to start making this dream home come true.
