Here’s what I see. Our house has four bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a garden with a swingset and a blanket laid out on the grass. There’s lilac and lavender, and we grow strawberries because they’re always sweeter homegrown. Glass doors open from the kitchen to the sound of “just one more game” playing. Our dog runs with green feet to the water, droplets on the hardwood. There’s fruit on the island, chocolate muffins in the oven. It’s a Sunday afternoon: early June, almost summer, lazy in the heat. We have time.

one day I woke up and realised all the waiting and yearning was actually me living my life and it’s happening right now and it’s still good even if it’s not perfect and there is no moment when all your dreams get fulfilled and everything makes sense. like… this is it. this is life. you’ll waste away your youth waiting for some imagined future if you don’t love life for what it is now and make the most of it

Trying to remember the last time I played hide and seek. The last time I said hi to everyone on the street or saw the girls I spent every day of six years with. The last time my dad picked me up, or my mum brushed my hair. When was the last time I dressed without consideration? There is so much to think about now. I remember falling on the grass at school and making stories with the clouds. Hanging upside down from the swing and realising how big the world was. I wonder on the path of growing when we stop feeling big. I am taller now, smaller still.

Something I love about Ghibli films is how much care they put into animating the normal world. It makes everyday things like household chores seem so beautiful. After watching a Ghibli film, I feel more enchanted with the world, everyday tasks like cooking pasta or taking out rubbish feel more special. It’s honestly one of my favourite things.
