• a small apartment in the middle of a bustling city
    • 12-ish floors up?? not terribly high but not low either
    • not luxurious either, a perfectly middle-class living space
    • always bathed in sunlight in the mornings
    • in the evenings, the light from the billboards filters through my curtains and pulses in faded colors
    • at dawn, the room is shrouded in blue, almost like i'm underwater
    • has a rooftop where i go to breathe and watch the the bustle below and across me, my face illuminated by the faint purple-orange glow of the city
    • sometimes me s/o joins me on the rooftop and we laugh and have meaningful conversations or comfortable silence there
  • waking up in the morning, fully rested in a bed with white sheets--the windows are open and the fan is on creating a light, cool breeze, and everything is quiet
  • having a nice and long morning shower
  • eating a healthy breakfast consisting of fruits, coffee, and some sort of pastry/carb
  • walking and commuting to my job and back in my work clothes, feeling the productive hum in my head
  • a job that i both love and excel at; it's a bit stressful but i always come home feeling accomplished and i rarely feel burnt out
  • on particularly sappy evenings: drinking wine after a dinner at home, murmured conversations in bed with nothing but the light of the city illuminating the darkness
  • finishing an entire book in one go
  • late night highway drives ft loud music and neon lights and my hands in the air
  • movie marathons on the couch spent beside the person i love on friday nights, not being afraid to make commentary + having vvv interesting conversations about each movie during each credits scene
  • drunkenly stumbling through the apartment hallway with my s/o, laughing because we keep bumping into the walls; me pressing them up against a wall when we get inside and kissing them like there's nothing else i know how to do
    • s/o sighing into my mouth as i kiss them
    • wrist/arm kisses
    • neck kisses (bonus if they're on the nape)
    • stomach kisses
  • nice swimming pools at night ft expensive vodka and skinny dipping
  • me laying my head on s/o's lap and getting them to read a book to me so i can fall asleep to their voice
    • bonus if it's in a park, some place like washington square where there's light bustle, jazz music, and just the right amount of people lying on the grass and enjoying the sunlight
  • but s/o laying their head on my lap and asking me to read them whatever i'm holding because they love my voice, too
  • writing something good on the side during my free hours, and it takes a while but i never abandon my project, and have been very disciplined at working on it
  • s/o reading my manuscript on the couch, looking very focused with their glasses on, taking the time to go through it even if they aren't that into books or writing
  • carding my hand through s/o's hair as i straddle them in a chair and them looking so gone and turned on
  • s/o noticing and gently asking if i'm wearing new underwear (bonus if i'm straddling s/o when they say this)
  • rave parties in hole-in-the-wall clubs ft neon lights and glitter and good trap music and me letting go, not afraid to be wild
  • going to an art gallery with s/o ft expensive people and cocktails and me, in a nice dress that makes me vv sexy, meeting s/o's gaze from across the room + them smiling at me
  • s/o picking me up from somewhere, grinning at me and waving vv excitedly (maybe even jumping and yelling) when they see me in the crowd of people going out
  • bar-hopping with s/o ft trying out new drinks and exploring the city at night and subway rides
