a new hippie.

{i rambled...im sorry.}

my father calls me a new hippie... whatever that means. but, i just consider myself tess. i like simplicity and plaid. i like all things creative. not because its the popular thing to be or to take interest in. no. i like it because i do. and that is me. i like drawing with crayons on the kids menus in restraunts. i like taking showers and feeling clean. i like falling asleep to the sound of rainstorms. i like windblown hair. i like coffee and tea and sugar. i like baking. i like blogging. i like adventures and road trips, and they are always funner with destinations unknown. i like meeting new people. i like being open. i like spontineity. i like honesty and truth and being true to yourself. i like freedom. i like birds. i like water. i like dreams. i like things i cant fully comprehend. i like letters and numbers, i think they are pretty. i like looking at ice because it reflects the colors surrounding it. i like writing about things and drawing pictures of things i see. i like ice cream and spoons and bowls. i like cupcakes. i like peace and joy and love. i like people. i like being connected. i like playing games. i like cuddling. i like hugs. i like the smell of murphy's oil soap on my hands after art class. i like imperfections. i like colors, but i also like white and black and all the shades of grey in between. i like big windows, and sitting in them. i like nighttime, and staying up late doing random nothings and drinking tea. i like leggings and long shirts. i like shorts. i like cookies. i like cultures. i like long hair. i like being short, and being with short people. i like having passions and convictions and opinions. i like lists. i like pondering. i like wish bottles, falling stars and eyelashes. i like times or places that have significance. i like things shared between just me and one other person. they feel so secret, and i like that feeling that only us too will ever understand why something is so funny or cool or heartbreaking. i like comfy couches. i like the sun. i like snow. i like cloudwatching. i like stargazing and sunset picnics. i like waking up to the warmth of sunshine in the early morning. i like sleeping in. i like good books that remind me of my reality...as long as they have happy endings. i like infinity. i like black tattoos. i like going barefoot. i like giving gifts, and writing letters. i like planning parties and attending ones too. i like cutoff shorts and my favorite plaid shorts. i like headbands. i like being me. im going to stop now...
