I like wasting my time. Watching TV for hours with my girlfriend by my side, hearing the park´s silence come through our bedroom window. Working at home and doing the shop at a 5-minute distance. The morning coffee and the smokes. Having drinks and spaghetti for dinner once in a while, talking about nothing and worrying about absolutely nothing at all. I really do enjoy spending time at home that´s to be said. Sketching tiny little postcards that taste like coffee or thursday afternoons, little instrumental songs for brief bicycle rides. Enjoying the good morning hellos. The irrelevant moments. The casual words. Wasting my time while the trees out there are swinging through the window glass.
