ode to an optimist.

today was rough. many things happened. that weren't so happymaking. but lucky for me i have an optimistic boyfriend. he's always looking for the good even when i don't want to. like when i really don't want to. he dishes it straight. and i loke him for it (loke: the in between of like and love. clever right. invented by sarah and st. louis. stolen by me. mmmm. good friend) i'm kind of a nerd. i call his phone just to hear his voice on the machine. there is something about some peoples voices that can just be sooo soothing. so thank you michael bowman. even though you weren't here today. you were.
