Have you ever
loved someone so much that when they cried, you cried
had your leg brushed by a slimy stingray
bought a girl a shot at a bar
been bought drinks at a bar (karma’s nice sometimes)
missed your connecting train
gone clubbing until sunrise
celebrated New Years in March
discovered a song so great you forced your friend to listen to it over and over
had someone call you beautiful without your consent
seen lightning strike the ocean
realized that time is passing too quickly
gotten drunk off of one tequila shot
noticed how differently people can think about a moment or situation
tried to make a funny joke at the expense of a racial group
danced so much to a song you’d never heard before
fallen asleep on the beach
laughed a laugh so forceful and genuine and realized that you hadn’t laughed that way in a long time and wondered why it’s been so long
found every animal phyla while walking along tide pools
ridden the bus for an entire loop
made plans that did not go as planned
impulse-bought gelato
smiled because you saw a couple smiling at each other
felt a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar place
realized you got really lucky because you happened to connect with people who you could call your best friends, if only for a semester
missed a place and the people in it before you even left it
procrastinated by writing a blog post
Cheers,
Angel
