i love playing soccer, even when we lose. running hard, feeling my lungs burn as i try to beat my opponent to the ball. it makes me feel powerful; it makes me feel strong.
i love afternoons with my friends, shopping for winter clothes, singing in the middle of the store, both followed by ice cream or smoothies.
most of all, i love lazy saturday nights. the ones where i tell everyone else that i need a night to myself. the ones where i come home and drink my wine and listen to my music and close my eyes…and i can just be me.
