i love penguins and beaches
Love some butterflies too, and dragonflies, traveling, flowing hair, strung lights, flickering lights, lightning bugs. Food, reading. Being barefoot. Singing (although I am not good at it). Scents. Laughter. Honesty in children, as I believe honesty opens and frees mind + soul. Honest grown-ups, too, of course, but an honest child is a joy.
Dislike (may even abhor): injustice, lies, bigotry, undue silence, winter, expectations
