one of my dear friends and I were on the phone, chatting about everything and nothing. She was asking for advice on love and the rejection of intimacy, while I was curling my lashes. Near the end of the final flick of mascara, she mentioned that she bought these little leg warmers for herself. she played out her initial hestiation of buying the warmers (what will people think, I’m not someone who can pull these off) and she said what helped her make that decision, was visualizing me in her head. she said I made her feel brave, and inspired her to try more things, just by existing the way I do. I’ve been sitting with it warmly, wiping off the my mascara long after the call. What is a nice little reminder someone has said to you, my sweets?
