Imagine, sitting in a cozy bakery with your love; the aroma of coffee and freshly baked breads fill the place just as the steam from coffee is coming up. The rain outside seems to be in perfect rythem with the low fi music and the sound of coffee maker and kitchen on the inside. You catch your love looking at you and you both smile. Life is mundane; life is beautiful.

some things we should start romanticising

  • bike rides, especially when listening to music. the wind in your hair, the songs in your ears, every sound being quiet and living in your own bubble of lyrics. (edit: in some countries this is illegal and it can be dangerous - i had not thought of that and i apologise)
  • sitting in a bus. you’re going back home, maybe you’re reading a book or just looking outside of the foggy glass.
  • making tea. warming up the water, bringing it to a simmer and closing the gas, pouring it into a ceramic mug, the perfume of tea leaves: it’s a ritual.
  • buying a new book. walking in a book store, reading the first page of a book that sounds interesting, choosing a book because of its cover, never having heard of that book.
  • reading the last page of a book. that one doctor who episode where the doctor says he rips the last page of each book he reads, reading the last line and feeling like all the air in your lungs is gone.
  • that one specific moment when you are coming back from a party and you’re walking the few last steps before getting home
  • writing your name on a new notebook. scribbling messy letters or trying hard to make it look pretty.
  • tying shoe laces. where are you even going?
  • picking a flower. getting off the road and into a patch of grass just to pick a yellow wild flower, pressing it in a book, or putting it in a glass of water.
  • finally getting to bed. the cold bedsheets, closing your burning eyes, the small sounds of the city.

small things we should appreciate more:

  • the chirping of birds in the early morning
  • the way the sun shines through the trees
  • nature after it just rained
  • constantly learning new things every day
  • libraries, bookshops, bakeries, and coffeeshops

“coming of age” books and movies are so stupid like being a teenager isn’t about having sex and going to parties it’s about staring out your car window after hanging out with your old best friends who you haven’t seen in months and realizing that you aren’t actually friends anymore and that your childhood has been well and truly dead since you were thirteen
