nineteen things this crisis has given //¬ taken from// me.
a greater appreciation of sunshine
removal of the word *normal* from my vocabulary &the concept of *expectations* from my head.
a crash course in world of technology
a reason to start meditating &practicing mindfulness
the realization of my true support system
an ability to entertain my own needs
a love for all things cozy
permission to use the special things i have been saving. //the good bottle of wine, the nice lotion, the expensive candle//
time to tend to my garden
self awareness of who&what are important
inspiration for my writing
an excuse to take time for myself, by myself
more practice at being spontaneous, being go w/ the flow
stronger faith in what I believe
time to develop my personality&hobbies, other than just work, sleep, eat, &repeat
a deeper connection w/ loved ones
