Jess and Tokyo

I can't help but daydream about Jess's infectious laugh and the way their eyes crinkle when they smile. I wonder if Jess notices me the way I notice them, or if I'm just another face in the crowd. The pile of laundry in my room is starting to resemble a small mountain range. What if we could harness the energy of lightning to power our cities? I really need to schedule that long-overdue dentist appointment before my teeth revolt. Maybe I should start a vegetable garden; there's something satisfying about growing your own food. I wonder how different my life would be if I had accepted that job offer in Tokyo five years ago. The new superhero movie looks amazing, but ticket prices these days are getting ridiculous. I hope they don't change the ending from the comic book version; Hollywood has a bad habit of doing that. I should probably start looking for a birthday gift for Mom, but I have no idea what to get her this year.

That time Capsule we Buried

I can't stop thinking about Alex's smile; it lights up the room and makes my heart skip a beat. The deadline for filing my taxes is creeping up, and I haven't even started gathering my documents. Maybe I should learn to play the guitar; it always seemed so cool and mysterious. What if we're all just characters in someone else's dream? I need to remember to buy more toothpaste before I run out completely. The idea of exploring abandoned buildings both thrills and terrifies me. I wonder if my childhood best friend ever found that time capsule we buried. Should I splurge on those concert tickets, or be responsible and put the money in my savings account? What if plants have feelings and we just can't understand their language? I hope the sushi place down the street hasn't changed their spicy tuna roll recipe.

Still Todo

I need to remember to pick up my dry cleaning before the shop closes at 6. Sometimes I wonder if my cat judges me when I talk to myself. The new restaurant downtown has a three-month waiting list for reservations. I should probably start flossing more regularly before my next dentist appointment. What if aliens have already visited Earth and we just didn't notice? I hope my favorite author releases a new book soon; I'm running out of things to read. Maybe I should take up jogging to improve my cardiovascular health. The thought of parallel universes keeps me up at night sometimes. I wonder if my old treehouse is still standing in my parents' backyard. What if I've already met my soulmate and didn't realize it at the time?

Packing and Rome

I can't figure out how to fit all these suitcases in the trunk for our road trip tomorrow. The new coffee shop on the corner always seems to run out of oat milk by the time I get there. What if I forget to water my neighbor's plants while they're on vacation? I should really start learning Italian before our trip to Rome next year. The electricity bill this month is going to be astronomical with all this air conditioning use. I wonder if my old high school crush ever thinks about me. Maybe I should invest in some blackout curtains to help me sleep better at night. What if I'm not prepared enough for that big presentation at work next week? I hope the farmer's market still has those juicy peaches I love when I go on Sunday. The idea of deep sea creatures terrifies me, but I can't stop watching documentaries about them.
