I\u2019m writing this down only to remember
\nTFW
\nShowering doesn\u2019t matter,
\nI wear sweat and coffee breath and leave my scalp oily.
\nDon\u2019t need to get a run in.
\nMy husband\u2019s dillying at the farmer\u2019s market doesn\u2019t annoy me – I could debate over cherry tomatoes for days.
\nSex is uncomplicated and not guilty.
\nCompany comes over and I\u2019m proud of our messy home–proud of exactly who we are with our folding chairs and sections of newspaper scattered on the crooked rug.
\nI\u2019m not constantly hungry.
\nThe volume of the music is just right.
\nI am home.
\nI know how my Dad must have felt, when he gave up his day job to start writing.
\n Like something had been unlocked, or flooded with light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
