spicy

there is nothing more peaceful than spending an hour in the sun listening to sufjan and the black keys on my ipod, as well as birds chirping and my dogs walking on the grass and crawling through the agapanthuses. feeling the warmth of the sun beating down on my skin while i read about separating my self from my ego was quite empowering. i always wonder though, would the peacefulness remain if there was someone next to me, especially someone i had feelings for? i have decided that the answer is no. if i were to be lying next to a person whose opinion i cared about, i would be much more conscious of my appearance, my positioning, and my book choice. it is times like these, when i am surrounded by nature, that i realize how valuable solitude can be.
