Listening: Me Enamora by Juanes.
Well, Merry Christmas or whatever you’re celebrating. I said I would say what I got, so I will.
Ten poetry books, one novel, two journals, six ink cartridges, nine different sticky note stacks, two shirts (one of which was The Cure merch), three bags of candy, hair products, a crocheted Halloween candy corn, and two hundred bucks. I got everything I wanted and more.
Of course, after I gathered my stuff, I reflected on how I was feeling: elated about my presents and my family. However, I know the joy from presents won’t last for more than a week. I’m just writing this down so I will remember: things don’t bring you long-term happiness (unless they relate to passions); good people and experiences do.
Anyhow, I hope you’re having a good time.
