“I need solitude. I need space. I need air. I need the empty fields round me, and my legs pounding along roads, and sleep, and animal existence.”

Czesław Miłosz, “Notes”

[petaltexturedskies]

⟡ Luxuries we forget are luxuries ⟡

Being able to call your mom. A full fridge. Being in good health. Clean sheets. Sleeping through the night. A good sweat. Coming home to your people. Little hands/paws reaching for you. Peace of mind. A slow Sunday morning. A fresh breeze coming through the window. Laughing so hard your stomach hurts. Unexpectedly hearing your favorite song. Someone genuinely checking in on you. Warm sunshine on your skin.
