Blue Ruin

 Let's not talk about cancer today. let's talk about things that feel nice.

A hot shower on tense shoulders

A haircut/color/blowout

Warm wool socks

New clothes that fit just right

Flannel sheets on a cold night

The first spring day where you can open your windows

Crisp fall weather

The weight of a cat on your lap

The soft fur of a purring cat

Leather shoes broken in just right

Your favorite hoodie fresh out of the dryer

A new mattress and clean sheets

from childhood: After waiting in the cold for the school bus, feet numb, sitting in the seat above the heat output. heaven
