of things that hurt
- a knife slipping on the smooth flesh of an onion and sinking into your fingertip instead
- apathy
- when too-hot coffee meets the roof of your mouth
- a cat that turns away from your touch
- the realization that you were used.
of things that make the early morning worth it
- the watery pink light of a winter sunrise
- a croissant
- getting a row of seats to yourself on the morning shuttle
- the unhurried quiet of the office before everybody else arrives
of the parts of being an adult that nobody warns you about
- tax season and the terribleness of TurboTax
- excitement over kitchenware
- your friends disappearing into relationships
- that everybody else is just figuring it out too.
of things i have obsessed over lately (and their current status)
- a pet portrait that i have worked on for months (ongoing)
- developing a recipe for orange brownies (abandoned… after one especially bad batch)
- my latest task at work (ongoing)
- the perfect croissant (ongoing)
- the search for something to really and truly obsess over (undying)
