the human trumpet.
dulce de leche on EVERTHING.

finding radical bookstores where maybe i cant read what they say but
they whisper promise just the same.
throwing open the shutters to feel the sunshine in the morning.
a whole week of potato leek soup.
standing by big piles of dog poo and warning everyone who walks by to "WATCH OUT!"
cheap wine at 2 am.
cheap wine at 2 pm.
falling in love with old men who fall in love with us.
getting a raise.
stoping and finding the beauty in crumbling walls.
fighting and 2 minutes later making up.
whooping for joy.
finding an amazing bakery.
remembering that i can still dream.
showing someone beautiful things that i have found.
discovering new beautiful things.
puppet shows.
secret clubs.
giggles
...and more giggles.
telling secrets.
finding treasures.
being tough.
making stencils.
