I’ve discovered love and it feels like what I’ve always imagined it to.

It feels like that one time you learned to ride a bike, it was hard, shit got shaky, you fell over a few times but in the end you were rolling down the street with “I’m a boss” written all over your face.

It feels like that one time you stepped into your favorite restaurant and you were seated right away and the food was so good you went home and fell asleep.

It feels like that one time you found twenty dollars on the ground right after checking your bank account and realizing your broke as hell.

It feels like that one time in December you woke up and looked out the window and realized there was no snow on the ground, and it was 50 degrees.

It feels like that one time you washed all your clothes the night before and was invited to a party and you didn’t have to worry about digging around the dirty shit.

It feels like that one time you were hungry and you called your mom up and she said she just fried some chicken and made a whole five course meal.

It feels like that one time you fell down in preschool but learned that you will fall many more times in life, but the point is to always get back up.

It feels like that one time you sat in class and knew you would ace the test because you studied all night.

It feels like that one time you were able to go on vacation when you wanted to.

It feels like that one time you danced with the moon and received affirmations that shit was going to be okay.

It feels like that one time you never thought you would find love because love is hard to find.

It feels like that one time….
