my favorite things

↠ when you laugh and your eyes crinkle at the edges
↠ sunrises that paint the sky
↠ cold days where you can see your breath
↠ hugs that seem to last forever and you never want them to end
↠ listening to someone's heartbeat when you hug them
↠ spooning under blankets
↠ running your fingers over the rough spines of old books
↠ the mellow feeling you get when you simply relax
↠ that pocket of warm air under your comforter on cold days
↠ the feel of snowflakes kissing your nose
↠ puddle-jumping barefoot during summer showers with your best friend
↠ the feel of wonder while at museums and aquariums
↠ the smell of the earth after it's rained
↠ wearing clothes that were hung to dry outside and smell like fresh air
↠ wearing a new shirt
↠ waking up refreshed and ready to take on the world
↠ accomplishing and celebrating the small things in life
↠ diving into a pool on a hot summer's day
↠ getting a test back with a high grade
↠ that wonderful feeling when you laugh hard and long after feeling sad
↠ eating ice cream and having it drop down the cone onto your fingers
↠ screaming as the roller coaster crests and begins it's descent
↠ squeezing your friend's fingers when they're feeling anxious and/or scared
↠ intertwining fingers to press your palms against another's
↠ the sparkle in your eyes when you talk about something you love
↠ falling into bed after a long day
↠ clothes straight out of the dryer on early winter mornings
↠ huge sweaters that envelop you like a wearable hug
↠ tying your hair up in a messy bun
↠ smiling over the rim of your mug at your significant other
↠ being squished in a booth so your entire squad can fit
↠ smiling so hard your cheeks hurt
↠ large sweaters that reach your thighs and feel like wearable hugs
↠ being friends with all of you ❤
