LATE FRAGMENT
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
The above is inscribed on Raymond Carver’s tombstone. It’s lovely, and it feels especially apropos given the day. Happy new year, darlings. I hope it’s a good one for us all.

Last night: I woke up in my hostel bed (top bunk) in Barcelona in the middle of the night. A large Samoan man—no shirt, huge belly, lots of tats—was standing right next to my bed, looking at me.

For real, is there anything better than the movie Love Actually? (Answer: No.)

If I ever get married:
My profile picture will be a cute profesh photo of me looking fly in a cream-colored dress for a couple months after the big day.

One weird thing about our generation is that everyone is so blasé about their sunglasses. Do you know what I mean? Kids are always giving away their sunglasses, or trading with their pals. I’m not talking about cheap pairs, either. Ray-bans, y’all. Oakleys. I finally got my paws on my dream sunglasses and I would never ever ever swap them, or give them to a friend. (Sorry, friends.)
