It's finals season, which means I've been studying and writing papers for the past three or four days. So I just wanted to take a minute to think about some of the awesome, happy things in the world and remind myself that there are so many things that matter much more than finals.
Things that make the world an amazing place:
brunch with friends
wearing dresses
summer rainstorms
sex, love and heartbreak
one of those sunsets that looks like the entirety of the human condition spelled out in color
mint tea
staying up until 3am talking about revolution
walking barefoot through mud or damp grass
singing around a campfire
family stories
fresh, homemade cheese
the feeling you get hanging 100 feet off the ground at a belay station with your best friend next to you
a wolf's distant howl on a cold night
Things that are so much more important than finals:
fixing our food system
making a world where the lives of humans and non-humans are all valued and respected
cultivating awesome friendships with people who are just as radical as you
believing in something with your heart and soul
learning how to live without oil
making music
learning how to trust someone completely
getting rid of zoos
writing something that matters
