snails.

This morning i woke up to the sunshine in my eyes, and my own laughter. Then I proceeded to get in the shower, then throw every thing in my bathroom at a spider running around my feet in the bathtub. Then I laughed at myself for a while.
I was walking to school this morning, and I was thinking about these lyrics.

Snails see the benefits, the beauty in every inch

And supposedly this song is about sex, but that's not how I was thinking about it. I was thinking about how beautiful life it...the small things. Like, to smile when I feel the sunshine, and how it feels like I won the lottery when I find a quarter on the ground. Or, how breathing can give you so much energy and change a perspective. To laugh out loud when I think something is funny even if no one else does.

Since I was already going to be late to school (because of the spider problem), I decided just to keep walking. It was sunny and I was happy, and wanted to think, so i just kept going. And it was great. But, all day, I thought about these lyrics. For instance, when my dad and I eat dinner, we usually sit down, start eating, and we never feel like talking so we don't. The silence is relaxing and perfect. I always get up when water boils, and pour 2 cups of water for our tea, and then we just continue eating. Then sometimes we talk, and sometimes we don't. And I love that we do that, but I didn't realize the beauty of it until today.

(oh yes, the song is Snails by The Format...if you want to listen to a song that might be about sex or life or beauty or dogs, you can decide)
