Side Effects May Include: Unoptimised Joy

I miss mornings that weren't measured. So we're taking one back. We’ll meet on the sand before the sun’s up and run into the ocean together, cold and screaming. Then we’ll sit in a circle, hold hands and sing Kumbaya. We won’t, but it was nice watching you panic for a second. Instead we’ll paint pretty pictures on towels with paint, pencils and salty hair, making the kind of art you made at eight, before anyone told you whether it was good. Then coffee, and a surprise, obviously. Come with a friend or come alone and leave with a few. Swimming is optional. Side effects may include paint under your nails and a new group chat. Grace x
