moments

[ellie]

1) I love when my mother's hand brushes across my back as she walks through the room.
2) I love when my grandfather, who is 95, smiles, eats candy all day without gaining a single ounce, and when he tells me that he loves me.
3) I love when my cat licks my hand while I cry, and sits next to me until i stop.
4) I love it when people think that the dog I walk is mine, and tell me how sweet she is.
5) I love it when I hear people in a position of authority swear, or veer into the land of ever-so-slightly inappropriate comedy.
6) I love it when elderly women smile at me, or when I smile at them.
7) I love taking a deep breath of cold sea air.
8) I love it when one of the topics I have filed away in my mind proves to be useful.
9) I love the smell of ozone, the crack of thunder, and the moment when the sky opens up, and I'm suddenly soaking.
10) I love sleeping naked, or lying naked in front of a fire.
11) I love it when men yell objectifying statements at me from there cars, or whistle, it makes me feel confident, and lets me know that I wont simply fall for someone who treats me that way, that i know what true affection is like.
12) i love feeling my skin become hot under the sun's rays,
