Sleepless Summer Slumber
I slept in today. Only until 8am, which to some isn’t much, but it’s something. I don’t usually get a chance to have the bed to myself.

2nd wedding anniversary
When I was younger, I thought love was fireworks. An opening of the chest, tearing out of the heart so that it can only beat in the palm of another person. But that hasn’t been my experience of love.

Episode 29: the last episode of the Twenties Season
I made it, 29… It feels very strange. I embraced 28 a lot easier than 29. And even more strange, I’m sort of excited for my 30s.
