Sunsets
The sound of an approaching storm
Jumping on a wet trampoline with people you love
Stargazing
Seeing something miraculous occur
The sound of a secret before it's spoken
A heartbeat
Staying up all night just to watch the sunrise
The feeling of missing someone
Nostalgia
Being careless with your friends
Daydreams that make you smile
Singing along to music with everyone around you
When someone gets passionate about something
Waking up and feeling well rested
Falling asleep next to someone you love
Falling in love
Plane rides
The smell of a new book
Bonfires
Letting go of a grudge
A high school auditorium
...specifically the catwalk
Finally getting what you want
Reading other people's poetry
Bathing in the dark
Songs that mean something
Books you can relate to
The ocean
Running and laughing with friends
Moments shared between you and someone close to you
11:11
Shooting stars
Conquering fear
IHOP at 3am
Genuine laughter
"Veni, Vidi, Amavi"
Flashbacks to things you'd forgotten
Driving through American Fork canyon
Learning someone likes my taste in music
"We're not gonna take it" by Twisted Sister
That trip to New York I took in June
Things I want to say and finally saying them
Forgetting about your problems
Running through the sprinklers at 11:30 at night in pajamas
Moments that last forever but milliseconds
Accents
Catching fireflies
Telling people who I really am
Caring about people too much
Talking in the stairwell
Kisses that never happened
Music from 2009
Long car rides
The emerald in my pocket
My striped hoodie
Hidden meanings
Nothing but breathing
Talking about that one future
"Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls
Big cities
Cities at night
The horizon
Beautiful photographs
Old videos and movies
That time Ryan jumped off the slide
Quiet parking lots
Steak burritos at Bajio
That short white dress
That perfume from two years ago
Discarded letters
Old blogs full of poetry
Youth
Taking time to remember rather then spending all your energy on trying to forget.
The Fault in Our Stars and why it means so much to me
Meaningful birthday cards
Singing and knowing that nobody cares how bad you sound
Honesty
When my cheeks glowed for the first time
Walking into that history class in 8th grade
My second day at Lone Peak
Low expectations and amazing results
Beauty on the inside
Hearing about other people's lives
That 'secret' I heard on the bridge
Chinese lanterns
Mascara-stained cheeks
That old tree house
Tire swings
Believing in yourself for the first time
"Sometimes we cry because we're happy"
Last words
That one car ride
Feeling more than good enough
Writing not because you have something to say but because you feel
Really seeing things
Being accepted completely by people around you
Feeling like so much more than human
When strangers become so much more
Being genuinely, completely happy
Accepting being perfectly imperfect
Barbecues by the pool
Fireworks and cousins
The exchange of "Hey"'s that one night
Good movies
Clean bedrooms
Beautiful songs on the piano
The word 'avocado'
That conversation about eclairs
The stories I never tell because they're not asked for
These are the things that make life worth living
