things to look forward to: a thread inspired by @babocals but about living in general
rolling down a hill and getting grass on your hair
waking up the earliest and feeling alone and alive
that feeling of everything being right in the world
that moment when you'll realize while hanging out that you've found friends that love you unconditionally for who you are
all those dogs that you'll pet that will remember you
all the places you might travel to
the foods you'll discover
all the stories, happy and sad, that you'll get to share after you live through them
peaceful nights after busy days when you're completely at rest
all the different eras of you that you'll live through
maybe the day will even come when youll find something at forever 21
that feeling of pride after you've accomplished a private goal only you knew about
finding out the true meaning of life and happiness
one day influencing younger children and being someone they fondly remember years later
showing someone else something you really love and them being equally interested to see it
being hugged
kissing someone you love and feeling as physically close to them as humanely possible
falling for someone, completely and carelessly, loving their flaws and seeing nothing but goodness
getting a perfect bite of whatever food you're eating
becoming someone you love
growing into the you that 5 year old you would have been proud of, not the you they expected
knowing that people talk about you and your kindness or openness or confidence or talent or anything else
being a hero in someones eyes even if it's for a few seconds
that moment when you get to tell someone something that makes them feel loved and worthy
those books you'll read that you'll fall in love with
the characters you'll romanticize and the people you'll meet
the musicians you'll see rise to fame
