The Little Things


Early morning drives when the sun is just starting to rise but no place you need to be.

Oversized raincoats and sunshowers, peaking your head out from the protection of your hood.

Playing your favorite songs and everyone singing along.

Watching plants grow from the spot you planted them a week ago.

Feeding on the sunlight and water earth gives.

Painting in your bedroom with the natural daylight pouring over your colors. Crimson sparkles just a bit more than the others.

Writing in your favorite journal about makeouts and breakouts.

Finding the pen you lost 2 years ago that writes so smoothly.

Going to museums and watching how people watch the art.

Observing and taking pictures of everything you find wonderful.

Watching people not take things for granted.

Watching yourself not take things for granted.

The idea of knowing what you treasure the most is beyond materialsitc things.

These are the things that inspire me.
