Vanity Card #8
I miss summer days. Liberation. Warm sleepless nights. The tint of your loved one's hair. The smile they give you when the sun sets. Sweaty hands clasping as you both leap over the cliff. Drinking without consequence because time lasts forever. Saying "I love you" when the tide rolls in. The everlasting freckles that are conjured under the nourishing sun. Summer days are to live for in rural British Columbia. It's worth the winters that deplete me of color and spirit. It's worth the constant intake of vitamin D supplement when night falls before dinner time. I miss summer days. Liberation. Yes, I long for it. Liberation.

Vanity Card #5
I firmly believe drinking coffee on a day off is counter productive. I'm not one to judge, I caffeinate without intention all the time. When my mind is operating at lightning speed, and what feels like full capacity, and the world slows down around me, I have the urge to tackle a huge task. The Huge Task. But on a day off there are no huge tasks. So I'm left with restlessness and frustration. Nothing needs to be accomplished. A small void widens on days like these. I could walk into city hall and tell off those no good, greedy scum to take a hike with energy like this. I'm a bite sized star waiting to illuminate galaxies in a grand explosion. With no where to direct my elevated alter ego, all I have are little things to fixate on. The more I fixate, the less perfect the world seems. Oh boy, I've had a lot of coffee. Let's wrap this up before I go down yet another rabbit hole.
