Things in general: I love…the forest scrub on the side of the road, ice-capped mountains, fireworks, Easter eggs, my family, apple trees, feeling the sun on my eyelids, cloudy days, the smell of cut grass, wildflowers, barnacles, my battle scars with the oysters on my feet, my music, crumbling rock on the side of the road, driving the boat, feeling the wind so hard it brings tears, falling, and eating our grapes in the early morning when they’re still misted with frost.
