we're snowed in, let's make breakfast.

i woke up this morning with crazy, vibrant dreams in my mind.
i think i want to be a writer.
i watched a bad movie last night and didn't like it.
i don't understand why people want others to like what they do.
i never asked them to like rice pudding or decoupage.
i am celebrating my friend's 25th birthday, today.
i think 25 is a big deal. and so is sam, to me.
i bought a jacket yesterday with a huge hood, makes me feel beautiful.
i used to steal things, a lot.
i have now decided that everything i stole must be paid for or donated.
i am working towards that goal. it should take me another year or so.
i had no resolutions at new year, but it has given me resolutions.
i am still in love with someone.
i think i will love this someone for a long time, & hope they love me.
i believe in destiny. i believe in karma. i believe in magic.
i believe in poetry. i believe in friends. i believe in mothers and fathers.
i believe in using our hands to shape this world.
i believe in celebrating.
i believe in love.

and as much as i know that two people coming together again, better than the first time, is a silly, litte romantic idea. i have no other choice but to believe.
and hope.

happy birthday, sam.
twenty five years and in less than one, you changed my life.
friends like sam make the other days seem a little more worth celebrating.

and now, off to a snow day.
