the concept that we are all pieces of people we've loved.

i drink my lattes with half & half because i used to be a barista, & my favorite coworker did that.

whenever i go to give someone a hug i always tell them to give me a real hug, because my first girlfriend did that & it made me feel important.

when i don't know what to say to someone, i just give them a hug because someone told me once that when i gave her one it took all of her stress away.

my go-to breakfast order is an everything bagel with cream cheese because my high school best friend would always order it.

i only write in cursive because my mom taught me in third grade & it's something i've been obsessed w ever since because my third grade teacher was impressed by it & i really admired her

when i hear the word "bananas" i just think "b-a-n-a-n-a-s" because i used to listen to a podcast & they said it all the time & it just stuck with me & i thought it was cute

i always try to be the person to include new people especially in my work/school environment because i was always the new girl & i didn't want anyone to have that awkward experience if i could help it

i take my friends to antique shops & crystal shops because i had started going alone when i was sad & it gave me so much serotonin that i needed to share it with other people

i try not to bite my nails because my ex said to me once "you make me not want to bite my nails because i want them to be pretty when i hold your hand" & i wanted my hands to be pretty when i held anyone's hand.

when i was little i was obsessed with building fairy houses.. now i'm older & people tell me that they see fairies around me.

i listen to jimmy buffet solely because it reminds me of being little & riding in my dad's red tacoma with my brother & listening to the same songs

i used to listen to old kellie pickler & carrie underwood on a pink mp3 player dancing in the living room.

i believe in guardian angels because once my mom dropped me off at dance & it was the one day i didn't have my phone & nobody was at the studio, & at that second a car pulled up in one of the busiest parts of houston & she got out & let me use her phone to call my mom

when i write the word wednesday i always say "wed-nes-day" because that's how i taught myself to spell it & now i just hear it in my head every time
