Things We Forget

The riverside trail where joggers look happy.

The little ice cream shop with weird flavors like lavender honey.

My favorite place is the dog-friendly brewery patio. Happiness everywhere.

I love the quiet hallway on the 4th floor of the art museum. It’s always empty, and I can admire the art in peace.

The public market’s spice stall. It is free aromatherapy.. Why not spend time near it?

My favorite place is the overlook where you can see the whole city in miniature.

I love chilling in the public pool at night during adults-only swim—it feels like rebellion.

The old bookshop café where pages and espresso mix in the air.

I go to the coffee shop with couches that swallow you whole. I feel whole there, too.
