best moments of the month

• getting my tattoo; spending those days under the californian sun; reading on the airplane; writing again; seeing my friends after so long apart (hugging isabella, watching hill house with beca, kissing mars' forehead, seeing nick's face light up upon seeing me); the nintendo switch party where we made brownies at 2am; classes starting, the excitement of a new, clean syllabus; tyler's football party & things feeling normal with him again; meeting parker; being called lou or louie; king ronan the plush shark arriving; meeting zee; watching 1917 with tyler & the gang; seeing little women by myself and sobbing in the theatre; seeing little women again with isabella and cuddling up to her as i bawled my eyes out; katarina bringing me a copy of 'it' that she got me for christmas; hearing elise shout, "wove you!" when i left since she can't say her l's yet
