Zoom this morning’s commute was very golden & very pretty- the best kind of early morning commute. i’ve learned to appreciate a gorgeous sunrise, but nothing, truly nothing will ever compare to a sunset in the corn.

sometimes, life isn’t all perky, all the time.

sometimes, you fail,

sometimes, things break,

sometimes, people disappoint,

& sometimes, the unexpected happens.

but the great thing about it all,

or perhaps the way i’m trying to reason with every failure, break, & disappointment,

is that around the corner (figuratively & literally), 

there are moments that amaze, that surprise, that take your breath away.

those are the moments that should matter, that we should all cling to when the other stuff isn’t so great.

yesterday, the latter occurred when i left work.

i simply walked into the parking lot & looked up-

a pink painted sky with a golden delicious sun setting in the distance,

& a feeling of happiness that i was able to experience it all.

Zoom taken one year ago on a flight from indianapolis to kansas city- all i wanted was a sign that much happier times were ahead. & as i peered out my slit of a window, i immediately felt hopeful in the future (a feeling that was very much hit & miss during that time). flying back to kansas meant i was leaving a not-quite-recovered patient behind, but it also meant i was a couple months away from graduation. during the two-hour flight out west, i was thankful for the goodness that was delivered through light, for the beauty of the clouds floating below, & for the bright, bright sun… i will never tire of the sun.

Hi! I'm Brooke. I live in the great city of Indianapolis & I welcome you to my little nook of the world. I have an immense adoration for the simple pleasures in life, for sporting events (Go Colts, Huskers & Cards!), for the arts, for mad beats & acoustic tunes, for fabulously frilly goods & for all things nerdtastic & academic. I'm just a twenty-something girl who was born in the land of corn & eventually found her way by picking up a couple letters behind her name, clinging to a Maltipoo named Bentley & by learning life lessons from some truly amazing people. Thank you for stopping by & please feel free to leave a comment (or ask a question) under the "Be Kind" tab at the top... xo, B
