things along that way that are O.K. & not O.K.

things that are O.K.:
  • Listening to the blues and overcast skies. They just belong together.
  • Smiling with your teeth. Half smiles (no teeth involved) feel just, half-y.
  • The collision of every walk of life that happens on public transportation.
  • Noah will be here so soon.
  • Ice cream surprises.
  • True community. Recognizing more everyday how blessed I am by the people I get to call friends.
things that are not O.K.:
  • Jeans in July in Hong Kong. I confess I have rationalized jeans while indoors in air-conditioning which proves to be faulty logic almost every time. You would think that the rain season here would wash away some of the humidity and allow everyone to enjoy walking under the intense-you-are-keenly-aware-that-you-are-closer-to-the-equator-summer sun. But no, here it decides to add another dose of thickness to the air which then likens walking to swimming. This can start to be confusing because you know that you just took a step outside the apartment and not a leap for a cannonball into the pool. In the same thought, I would never go swimming in jeans, so why would I wear them in July in Hong Kong? The answer perhaps is simple wishful thinking.
  • The rant I just went on about jeans in HK. Thank you for reading if your eyes have made it this far.
