i want...

A lovely Fernweh reader Bethany (currently blog-less but leave her lots of kind comments anyway!) emailed this piece to us. It really resonated with me, and I think you'll like it too.


I want to turn cartwheels in the rain and stand on the roof and shout my favorite quote to the world. 

I want to get shivers from looking at the sky.
I want to inspire people to laugh because it's fun, and write even if they think they have nothing to say. 
I want midnight strolls to clear my head, and nights where heart-to-hearts seem the thing to do. 
I want sudden revelations and rainy days spent at antique shops and coffee houses.
I want the second to blend into minutes while I sit doing nothing and everything.
I want to see something that makes me cry with wonder and makes me think about life and my existence on this spinning globe flying through infinity. 

But mostly I just want you.

    What beautiful words. I scrawled them down on a piece of paper to keep in my pocket for future reference. I love it.
