can we loop May on repeat?

I felt so relieved when it was raining—something in the moisture in the air calms me in a way that dry days can’t. The city feels so gentle like this

I wandered without an umbrella for a bit, just my Ricoh GRIII tucked safely under my coat, it's really one of my favorite things.

At first, I thought that was cherry blossom but the leaf looked differe, I looked up and had no idea there was this flower called Kalmia. It's soo pretty!

This Golden Week, I spent a few days at my grandparents’ house.　On one of those quiet afternoons when we couldn’t go outside, my grandpa pulled out an old DVD from the shelf and said,“Wanna watch a movie?”

So we sat down together and watched Le Grand Bleu.　He told me little stories about his old diving days,pausing sometimes, as if the memories came in waves.I mostly just nodded and listened. Long time ago, he was very athletic.

He dozed off a bit halfway through, but by the time the end credits rolled,

he was awake again, “…That was a good one"

but for the feel of the sofa, the scent of orange peels,

and the way it felt to sit beside someone steady,

watching the sea move on screen.
