Easy living

Home
rewatching favorite movies.
A quiet buzz late at night as you open the fridge   
and eat mediterranean mint right out of the pint.
Trying to be quiet.
Getting caught.
Going back to a cozy bed feeling defeated.
Easy living

Home
Emergency drinks in the morning.
Hot and cold pesto pasta in the evening.
Pretzels and chocolate chips for snacking; before school, after school, in school.
Easy living

Home
Devilish kittens.
Paws charging up the stairs making loud booms and clanks.
Large creaky windows .
Brown picket fence outlining the yard marking the boundaries between home and the real world.
Easy living

Home
Warm crackly fires; the kind that make you jump when there’s a pop. 
Blues music blaring as it runs off the album right into our ears.
Watching Kung Fu Panda for the one hundredth time, getting funnier and funnier.
Easy living

Home
SE Portland.
Surrounded by restaurants.
Surrounded by kind people, scary people, all people.
Surrounded by schools, parks, gardens, shops.
Easy living

Home can bring joy
Home can bring sadness
Home can bring love
Home can bring stress
But home is home.
