everything else: swings and roundabouts

dear internet,

it's easy to worry about things that you can't change, it's easy to chop garlic while listening to shadow by carly rae jepsen, it's the easiest thing in the world to leave my laundry hanging long after it's dried. some things i have remembered the last few days: what it felt like to sit on a milestone by the side of the road; the week's newspapers piled neatly on the shelf behind my grandfather's chair; crying on the blue line of the delhi metro and nobody even looked at me. some things i have googled: "swings and roundabouts", "types of rock", "frozen food past expiration date okay". i disorientate myself without a camera, i unlock my phone and don't know what to do next. my flatmate is away but before she left she texted me directions to where she saw the storks nesting in the fields, and i find it very lovely to imagine that they're still there, tall and improbable, waiting right where she found them.

love,
t
