happiness

on sunday, i prepared my first meal in our new kitchen. as i was stirring ingredients together, i was hit with an unfamiliar emotion: HAPPINESS. from something as simple as looking out the window and seeing greenery. from light and fresh air pouring in at dusk. it occurred to me that the dismal conditions of our old apartment had sucked all the joy out of cooking.

but in this new space i feel inspired and energized. i think i'm going to like it here.
