Mad about politics again
Can we talk about brown eyes? Like, they're so pretty and seriously don't get enough credit and in books they're always described as either mud, dirt or chocolate and it's so mundane. Brown eyes are freaking gorgeous. Holy fish, they aren't even brown. They are copper against honey and they're sunlight through a bottle of whiskey and they are the color of earth after it rains. They're hazelnuts and gingerbread men and chocolate brownies and they're the feeling of the feeling of coming inside from the biting cold and wrapping yourself in a blanket on the sofa and they're cocoa and tea and coffee. They're cinnamon and ginger and cassia and the dust from a horse's hooves and they're so damn beautiful it blows my mind that people think they're common and boring.

You will only be happy when you start to focus on the simple daily experiences that make you happy. And that might mean letting go of other things.
