there are all the things I could do with three minutes alone in my room
I have an essay to write and Hebrew to study
I have things to look up and notifications to check
there are all the things I could do with three minutes alone in my room
but
I prefer to watch the last bits of dusk be swallowed by the night
and I prefer to put off for tomorrow what I could've done today.
precisely one year ago i went to school after election day and felt like driftwood in an uncertain sea.
It's cold here, I reply to my grandparents when they ask how our week's going. It's cold, and wet, and already I am helping my friends put up Christmas decorations and string LEDs across their rooms, playing holiday music to try
darling i think the prettiest thing of it is that i
have been dreaming about this moment since i was little,
pressing my mouth to the back of my hand to see what it felt like to be touched like that,

but my dear could this have ever been put off?
"I prefer to watch the last bits of dusk be swallowed by the night"
To miss it would mean forever.

This says to me that you've truly learned how to live in the moment (even if it feels like procrastination sometimes). We all deserve a little beauty in our day, and often we must grasp onto it when it presents itself or it can so quickly slip away. And I love your play on that Benjamin Franklin quote: "One today is worth two tomorrows"!
Thank you so much!! Also, I have literally never heard of that Ben Franklin quote :/ :D but sounds like something i'd do!!!
