absolutely overcome

i feel so overwhelmingly loved right now that i might cry, like i should get on my knees say thank you to anyone who will listen to me. i seriously am so blessed. somedays it just hits you. somedays you realize that you have nothing to complain about, that everything in your life is the way it should be, and that the only thing that really matters is that you are LOVED, and that you have the capacity to LOVE OTHERS. never lose sight of that. let it be like a lantern to burn on dark days. today, i took some time to notice and to take pleasure in the simple beauty of life. today i noticed a man and his son walking a little black and white dog across the street on their way to school. i noticed a girl walking alone, smiling with headphones on. i noticed little tiny puppy teeth that love to nibble on unsuspecting toes. i noticed abalone details, the smell of spruce and maple, the bell sound of harmonics, the magic in burgundy crushed velvet. 
i noticed that i was alive.


i noticed that i was alive.
