-The World According to Garp, John Irving
I love days when:
your hair falls just the way you want it to.
the sun is shining.
you can help someone out.
someone helps you out.
someone tells you something new you didn't know before.
there are no pimples on your face.
you can sit with someone and talk about anything for hours.
the pressure to excel isn't too great.
when people know what you're feeling and can be there for you accordingly (I appreciate you, Jess and Quynh).
you have a moment where everything comes together.
you can reason things out.
someone waits for you.
you get a hug for no reason.
people show or tell you they care.
the person you need to talk to most picks up the phone.
...and I like remembering that there will be days like those again when I'm not feeling the like I'm having one of those days.

"One day, the joke goes, a Boston cab driver had his taxi hailed by a man who staggered off the curb toward him, almost dropping to his knees in the street. The man was purple in the face with pain; he was either strangling or holding his breath, so that talking was clearly difficult for him, and the cabby opened the door and helped him inside, where the man lay face down on the floor alongside the back seat, tucking his knees up to his chest."

it's funny how sometimes it's the little things. "someone waits for you." i miss when your friends would wait for you and you would walk down the hall together. no we all go in different directions. people don't say bye. people don't care that you were waiting for them. i think it just hurts sometimes to think about someone and then find out they were not thinking of you at all :( but life goes on and you still wait for them until someday they wait for you too :)
agreed! it's hard to remember that we've only known each other for a few months... but i think we'll get there. i appreciate our silly faces and you know i'll wait for you ;)
