and today i am content. because there is nothing as nice as the absence of the feeling that the world is reeling away from you faster than you can think to grasp at it. nothing that feels quite as lovely as enjoying your day completely. nothing like the feeling that the here and now are worth something. i slept in and woke with vivid dreams on the tips of my fingers. i spent the day out with my mom. first to lunch and then this tiny little coffee shop. i appreciate my mom so much more when i talk to her. i love to tell my mom things. i wholly know that i tell her far more than shed like to know. but she likes that i tell her things and i like that i tell her things and i like that i can tell her things. tell her mostly anything. being away from home for college is good for me, i know. it is also good for my mom and i. the two hours we sat in the coffee shop were my favorite. id never been there before. it has character, like capresso. and i liked the sound of my mom considering the things i never said aloud to her, that she already knew. the sound of her absorbing things she didnt know i knew. the sound of her listening. i liked her making me laugh at how we are on two different pages about things most of the time.
