there are so many phrases in this world. my abuela used to tell me many of them. but sometimes she would scare me with the things she said. like the time i buried a picture of myself and my cousin with our hamster in memory of him. she said the earth was going to call to us and we were going to die. i was 10.
i notice the little things about you. how when you look at people you kind of fold your lips inside of your mouth. how when you walk you lean forward. how when you're really happy and don't know how to say it you just lay next to me with your face covered and a content little smile on your face. i notice how afraid you are for when i leave to college. and i hope you notice how scared i am too.
my dad always makes me print out map directions when we go places. he's not a stereotypical male my mom says. he never follows the map to a T though, he usually finds quicker ways. but sometimes we end up lost and he tries to figure out where we're going, and it's cool because you can see the concentration in his eyes and it's nice to know we are safe in cars with him. and when we think we're lost, we never really are.
libraries remind me of old people. they definitely smell like their houses. i would say my grandparents but i dont have any. they kinda just had my parents and went away. its fine i guess. but i kinda wish i had their stories and chocolate chip cookies. or maybe their inheritance. thats mean. maybe if i knew who they are i would care. but i dont. oh well.
