+some prophecies are self-fulfilling, but i've had to work for all of mine

SA conversations, knowing, preparation, lunchtime hugs, run-ins, passing way too many notes in spanish with kelly, jogging, picture of a possible new home, phone talks with family, special time, caf for all three meals, long showers, coffee date with snorton, relaxing, cleaning, taking the time.

"Aw, mom, I always dreamt of being a good listener. So tonight I'm on my way. Aw, mom, I never thought that I could have a friend. But tonight I'm on my way." -Ben Kweller

+autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower

Sleeping on a couch, cinnamon rolls with coffee, lazily starting a day, chatting overseas, laughing hard, cold long walk, long warm shower, new tastes, football on a big screen, intellectual conversations, cuddling, blankets during drizzling rain, spicy homemade chili, sermons that make you think, commitment, unity, passing notes, warm tea with honey, comfy chairs at bongo, not being able to stop smiling, finding a new hiding spot.

+you can't believe it you were always singing along

Rsmith, long walks, reuniting, discussing, understanding, depth, laughs, Asimpson, Wine-tasting on one of the most gorgeous days of the season, learning new terms and flavors, dark chocolate with raspberry wine, letting the sun warm my skin, breathing fresh air, getting away, photography, the Haydens, catching the Christian showcase, catching up, deep acceptance, slumber parties, chick flicks, texts, story after story.

+but now, we've got somethin' to prove

Vikki's coffee, tinfoil wrapped pound cake, unexpected time, cute phone calls, an hour to nap, low stress, getting out early, free parking, pulling over the chair and a tug on the elbow, being accepted and welcome, losing track of time, feverishly written notes, davis-kidd, hearing dad's smile through the phone, screaming at the top of my lungs out of the car, warm cozy bed, sleeping early.

+i am not my own, i desperately need you

Early cool mornings, cafeteria granola, big hugs, compliments, finishing that film project without stress, productivity, good hair day, deafening silence, feeling in sync with nature, homemade chilli, smiles, a rearranged room, made bed, getting rid of the excess, new dwarers for old things, studying with boyfriend, phone calls from close friends, 25 calorie hot chocolate, crying, not holding back or stepping down, and sleeping heavily.

"I find a need to put things into words before I can believe that they are entirely real." -Buechner

+come down now, come down

Final day of Septmeber, cool morning walk to bongo, conversing over a simple breakfast, snorton, ahill, starting a new book, long walk for grocery's sake, local green beans, pasta dinner, deciding to procastinate to go on a date, a shared pumpkin spice latte and long walk to window shop, running into good friends, breathing deeply, giving hugs and paying visits, community group and getting to know new people, homeworking til late in the night to pay for it all.

"True loving requires the kind of commitment that assumes a future where things might get better or they might get worse, but the loving will go on." -Jones
