Some Things I Like

• Yellow sunsets (makes me feel like I'm in a sepia tone photograph)
• When you can see the moon during the day
• When spare change from the front pocket of my backpack turns into an orange juice
• People that laugh super loud in movie theaters
• Knowing someone so well you can hear their thoughts
• Singing alone in the car so loud you lose your voice
• Singing with your friend in the car so loud you lose your voice
• Parks and their benches
• When silence is ok
• When your iPod plays the perfect song all by itself
• Getting a text from someone you're thinking about
• Keeping other people's secrets
• When it rains and the sun is shining
• When it rains anyways
• When free songs on iTunes are really good
• When you hear and like a song months before the radio beats it into an early grave
• When little kids act like grown ups
• When grown ups act like little kids
• High heels and when girls are bad at walking in them
• Reflections of me. Its cool. That's what I look like
• Deep philosophical conversations that only make a difference to the people having them, but that's enough
• Eavesdropping on those conversations
• Changing shirts 3 times in the morning cuz somehow it matters
• Having awkward conversations just loud enough to make people around you uncomfortable
• When you lean forward in church and the girl next to you just starts tickling your back
• When a friend asks you for help
• When a girl looks at you and smiles
• The way my backyard smells after the lawn gets mowed
• When someone cares about you so much that they stop being polite
• When someone that you think doesn't like you or know who you are actually does like you and know who you are
• Liking someone so much you can't put your words together the way you'd like to
• Saying the perfect thing
• Sunburns
• People that dress like its the 20's or 30's or 40's again
• Driving with the windows down in a summer rainstorm
• Knowing they would really like you if they knew you
• When the more you get to know someone the more wonderful they become
• A smile you can't help
• Deja Vu
• Dark haired girls with brown boots up to their knees
• Blonde girls with huge sunglasses
• People that forget the punch line to the joke they're telling
• Not being able to tell your own joke cuz its way too funny and you're laughing way too hard
• Seeing my friends in plays and performances
• When tears and laughter happen together
• Knowing my eyes are my eyes and only I can see what I see, but still wanting to share it
• When other people share what they see through their eyes
• Trying to think about everything and only being able to think of one thing
• Trying to think about only one thing and thinking about everything else instead
• When old people still hold hands
• When the wind blows fall leaves around your ankles on a sunny afternoon and you feel like something great is about to happen
• Making awkward eye-contact with a random stranger and noticing how quickly I look away
• Learning knew words
• Fedoras
• Moments when your life feels like a movie, except its your life so it feels real, and realizing that things like that really do happen
• The way my Grandpa's eyebrows stick out at weird angles
• Listening to his stories
• How songs and memories sometimes are inseparable
• When goodbyes are hard

To be continued someday....
