• the summer of 2007, mom maya and i went to belgrade, the adriatic, and paris...swimming in that cave in the middle of the adriatic was an experience i will never forget
  • spending time with my aunt, her now-husband, and ben in brussels
  • really, any morning i woke up with ben during the good part of our relationship, being held and making love and eating toast and listening to neutral milk hotel...because that epitomizes love for me, and that was the first time i was in mutual, nothing-matters-more love with anyone (and the last, but it's only been a few months)
  • this last trip to belgrade with my dad to see baba
  • that time i was crying in a park and my best friend drove and picked me up and hugged me and drove me around in his yugo. no boy had ever done anything like that for me (i was only 16) and he will always be the first to give me that comfort feeling (which he did many times in those few months)
  • seeing the national with my best friend in the whole entire world
  • the time i watched the deer hunter with austin
  • becoming a big sister, running over there from a dance recital with my hair in the stiffest bun on planet earth and holding a two hour old baby in my arms, and naming her
  • poetry club in high school, something about that opened the entire world of writing up for me and i will always think upon high school fondly because of that teacher and those tuesday afternoons
  • the last few months as a whole. i don't think any event in my life has influenced me more positively than my long-term relationship ending. my friendships are stronger, things in my life are going in a really good direction, and i'm happier with my own self than i have ever been (and i still get laid BONUS)
