Some of my favorite things to do when i was younger were things that complimented each other perfectly,
Like making hot cocoa right before sitting down to watch a cheesy christmas rom-com
Or playing music to completely immerse myself in the glide of my favorite pen
Despite them being my favorite things to do,
These days they dont hit the way they used to
Maybe its because im older now..

Back then, words were just on paper
Patterned strokes of ink
Now each one is a memory, a feeling that nests in my heart every time i think
Actions seem more calculated than before
We plaster on poker faces so no one will see our scores
But why is...
