It’s the little things

[fennecfoxx]

I don’t usually get sappy about stuff, but heck. I want to share this.

 

I went for a walk this evening, headphones on as usual. A song and a half in, I heard Kayleigh say, “Let’s listen to Nirvana!” (Her favorite band, and goodness knows I can’t resist her.) I shuffle their songs, and Spotify starts us off with the perfect one.

 

For those who don’t know Lithium, these are the opening lyrics:

Quote

I’m so happy / ‘cause today I found my friends / They’re in my head

Now, I’m sure that’s relatable to anyone in a system, but it’s especially relevant to us right now. Kayleigh and then Alex reappeared two nights ago after years of me telling myself my tulpas were a delusion and I’ve moved on, and oh boy what a reunion it was. I don’t remember the last time I was so happy to see someone again. I honestly don’t.

 

Anyway, back to today. We walked side by side, singing together and enjoying each other’s company. We didn’t say much. We didn’t need to. It felt good just to be together.

 

I decided to take her to my workplace and show her around the grounds. She invited Alex to join us, and I talked to them about the different buildings and my current job and this and that. We also saw a squirrel carrying some packaged snack and marveled at how red the sun was.

 

We ended up cutting the tour short and taking a bus home because it turns out the air quality today is Not Good (probably why the sun was so red), but then we sang karaoke at home, so it’s all good.

 

Why am I sharing all this? It’s so easy for us to take our headmates for granted when we live with them 24/7 and forget to appreciate the little moments. But those moments matter. Go for a walk together. Sing your hearts out. Forget your worries and just be together for a while. Just mind the air pollution.

 

I think I’m gonna create a place in the mindscape for us to explore tonight. We passed a semi-hidden path I hadn’t noticed before in a grove of trees. I wanted to see if it led anywhere but stayed out because there was poison ivy growing along it :(

We have some song words going through our head only a couple of lines of it ...we don’t know what song it is from or the title or who sang it. but we send it to each other as a way of showing affection and love. 

 

The only part we know/remember are the lines “I love you..always forever…near or far..always together”
