i finally went out tonight.
to a friends birthday party and then headed to a gallery opening with some other lovely people.
i never go out. ever.
and i noticed that when i do go out--there is this feeling of simplicity.
nothing else really matters. and it's those little moments that fill me up again--moments of carefree laughter, music that you have to scream over, sentences saturated in sarcasm, waiting for trains to pass, a moon 3/4ths full, worn off lipstick, and messed up hair.

it was really nice.
