At the moment, dearest one, it doesn’t make sense.

But here are the things that you must acquire. 

1. Butterfly tattoos. Paste them on your wrists, the back of your neck, and on your collar bone, just where Cary Grant would like to kiss it.
2. Sparklers. Let the night light up and run around with life bursting at the seams. Full of the possibility of love.
3. Apple Cider. To toast in the night with friends when you want to burp because of carbon dioxide, feel fancy, and never drive drunk. It’s safe, delightful, and utterly delicious.
4. A big white tablecloth. Maybe four of them. Pack these in your suitcase along with rope. They can make you a dress when you need it. It can also be hung up like a makeshift tent, or used as curtains or a movie projection screen. Do this in the middle of the street and invite the whole neighborhood to come watch movies that make you laugh till your stomach aches.
5. Plane tickets. To somewhere. Anywhere that is not the same state. Fly to that strange place and wake up for a while. Drink in the sights and sounds, and for a while, remember as you’ve never remembered before.
