more reasons to love life

Cherry tomatoes. Shaking a can of pop and opening it, just to make a mess. MESSES Organizing all of your stuff and actually knowing where it is. Feeling smart because you know some stupid trivia no one else really cares about, like the length of a giraffes neck. ZOOS ! Going up to each cage and making weird faces at all the animals. Putting on a funny hat, just because it’s there. Getting compliments from other people, giving compliments to others. Writing until your hand hurts. Laughing until you can’t breathe. Making your hair into a mohawk with shampoo. SKIING ! You go down the hill, cross your skis, landing in the snow, harder than you think you could. ouch but it doesn’t hurt for long. Get back up and you’re going down the rest of the hill. KEEP GOING . Apple picking, throwing the apple cores at your brother. Climbing up ladders… whoa, I’m really high up. Climbing back down the same ladder, having your feet on the ground. Being able to do something not everyone can do. INDIVIDUALITY !
