I wish I had a lot of money. Yes I am that shallow. Actually not really. I’d use it to buy a cute little house, take classes for the rest of my life, and spread my own flavor of sweetness and light around the world for the rest of my life. And I’d give a lot of it away. And save kittens from the pound. (I should have gone to bed already, can you tell?) ---

I wish he would remember me and think of me at odd moments every day; that my face would sometimes float to the forefront his thoughts and stick there for a debilitating moment. It’s not so much to ask. ---
