Things I miss

mango trees

cousins

summer nights

my grandmother's crochets.

Sunday pancakes

being fearless

going to school

live acoustic music

my old shihtzu

not having to blow-dry without my hair being frizzy

bonfires

long conversations
dragonflies

warm weather accompanied by pouring rain

my mom meeting me halfway when I walk home from school

falling in love with books

mass at the school chapel

being unaware of what other people think

Filipino Christmas star lanterns

black maryjanes with white lace socks

having butterflies in my stomach
composition notebooks
meriendas
my kindergarten nap time pillow
my brother's drawings
ferry rides
