The afternoon sun beats down on you and in your hand is a nectarine you purchased from a stall this morning and it is perfectly ripe. The juice runs all the way down your forearm until it touches your elbow as you bite into the fruit, and it is so sweet and it tastes like all the sun and like all the summer you’ve ever known and so for a while you just sit. You close your eyes and you lick your lips and listen to the waves lap onto the shore and the cicadas serenading the sea. The air is heavy with Pine and with Ocean and with that delicious Nectarine and your mouth is watering and so you release your inner-fatty and scoff the rest of it in several swift bites and then sit in the sun with your sticky hands outstretched, palms facing the sky.

For too long I have been ignorant to the joy of casually and spontaneously perusing a grocery store. Finally, I enter with no list in hand. No agenda. No stress about filling my weekly nutritional quotas. Instead I became a woman led only by curiosity and intuition (perhaps my highest state). Behold the wonders of the produce aisle. God lives in the produce aisle. Then the nectarine chose me and I chose the nectarine. We were perfectly complete in one another's company. I left with a bill of exactly 1 dollar and became one nectarine richer. Perfect.

Video someone you love whilst they talk. Record the sound of the birds singing at your grandparents’ house, the sound of traffic in the distance. Write about literally anything, or even just make notes of what you think. Make shitty art, whether it’s poetry or painting or music. One day, you’ll be glad that you have more than just photos to remember your life by; there’ll be evidence you lived.
