today, i heard a 60-sumtin’ old man tell his dear wife, “don’t be a ninny!” i’ve never heard someone call another a “ninny” before. he said it with such love and disdain. being a relationship is so much fun - having someone with whom we can be silly and sweet.

I think you could fall in love with anyone if you saw the parts of them that no one else gets to see. Like if you followed them around invisibly for a day and you saw them crying in their bed at night or singing to themselves as they make a sandwich or even just walking along the street and even if they were really weird and had no friends at school, I think after seeing them at their most vulnerable you wouldn’t be able to help falling in love with them.

I love people.

There are many wonderful characters in my study abroad program. I’m enjoying learning more and more about my friends here every day, and I am struck, yet again, by how many facets there are to people. We all come from different parts of the world, have had our own unique experiences, hardships, stories and are all here in this moment making new ones together.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

although, every day should be mother’s day.

Love you mommy, and all the other beautiful, wonderful mommies in the world.
