Favs & Hates

In life, there are several things that I like and a few that I distaste. And there are those that I have a love-hate relationship with.

Water is something that I love. Be it the liquid that I drink or perhaps that pool that I often think about in this summer heat. I also like it when it falls from the sky in the form of rain. It’s a sign that I’ll be able to spend the day at home, reading books or sleeping.

As I write this piece, I just realized that I like the wind, the plants, and the animals as well. So I guess it’s safe to say that I like nature. The wild and untouched type of nature. This must be the reason why out of all the songs from my childhood, Colors of the Wind is the closest to my heart. This appreciation for the environment is one of the things that I hope to share with my children someday.

Moving on, thinking of the things that I consider as irritating isn’t really my cup of tea. I’m training myself to see the good in everything. But whenever I’m asked about this matter, I share my dislike on narcissistic and manipulative people. More accurately, I hate the characteristic and not the person. I think they’re the hardest ones to deal with. That’s why I try to keep my distance when I do meet them in person.

When it comes to my love-hate relationships, top of my list are chihuahuas. Don’t ask why. Then tricycles, crickets, and wasabi. It’s a random list, I know. But I’m gonna save the storytime for my future writings.

I wasn’t sure at first, where my thoughts would take me as I typed. However, it’s nice to be able to reflect every once in a while. It would be nicer to talk about things like these in person but I guess I’ll have to wait until I get to see my friends again. Until then, I have my screen to accompany me each night.
