My heart is swelling up with the good things in my life, it's like I can't contain it all. Things are going well. I'm happy.

I had a conversation with Chris this morning about regret and personal growth and maturity. I spent time with my mother today, just the two of us. Aaron and I spent the afternoon and evening playing chess, reading poetry (I introduced him to Richard Siken), and generally having a lovely time. The weather was nice. I wore a dress. I like recognizing the good bits.
