Happy Novelties

Happy Novelties

The color orange. Having no boss. Having a bank account. Netflix subscription. Those cool $30 sunglasses that are also prescription!! from eyebuydirect. Books. So many books. Buying a phone for myself. Throwing away a hand me down that I had worn so much and hated as much too. The coral color lipstick I bought. Choosing the best snow boots. Writing. Reading. Listening. Discovering a podcast, an image, a person, a friend. Taking a selfie and not posting it anywhere. The old Airbnb building in a forgotten neighborhood. Speaking in Spanish in response to Chinese. The water from the ngo in Chile’s hotel room. The words ‘I am fine. I am happy.’ Dressing up, wearing the same pjs three days in a row. Choosing my clothes. Choosing my friends. Respecting my thoughts. Holding my emotions. So many happy novelties.
