Right now, I believe...

that just because you could make coffee with a paper towel doesn't mean you should. Chemex filters are worth it.

that you can have a fridge full of groceries and leftovers ready to go, but sometimes on a late Sunday afternoon you just need to sit at the counter window of your new favorite Chinese place down the street from your house and shovel beef chow fun into your mouth.

that a Christmas tree full of sentimental, mis-matched ornaments is better than a perfectly styled one.

that having so much on your to-do list that you have to quietly slip out of bed on a weekend morning to do a few hours of work before anyone wakes up is a really really good thing.

that color-coding your bookshelf is as satisfying as it is embarrassing.

that five hours of driving on a sunny Saturday is worth it to see the Golden Gate Bridge, eat a croissant from Tartine, and spend the afternoon in Sonoma County drinking really good beer.

that you're never too young to make regular massages a priority.

What's true for you these days?

Right now, I believe... 

that it's totally normal to feel nostalgic for Stars Hollow even if you've never been because it's made up.

that sometimes it's good to forget your phone at home.

in a slow morning every now and again.

that throwing your hair up in a top knot is way better than washing it.

that you don't have to be moving forward all the time. A few steps to the side and backward never hurt anyone.

that there's no better smell than that of a warm, sleepy, corn chip-pawed pup.

that homesickness is exceptionally complicated when you've moved three times in three years (to three different states...in three different parts of the country).

What's true for you right now?

Right now, I believe...

that some things really are meant to be.

in empathy, even when it's too much.

that you can truly feel two (or more) conflicting feelings at one time:

“Your heart has a lot of space for a lot of feelings, all at once. And great joy doesn’t erase great pain. It’s okay to feel the hard stuff.”

— Nora McInerny Purmort

in eating toast even if it's going to make you sick because you're out of town and it's bread, dammit.

in sitting on the back porch with my dog every morning.

that we'd all be better off without mosquitos.

in crock pot dinners.

What are some things that are true for you these days?
