Places you haven’t visited.
You are brave.
This world needs you.
Coffee.
Delicious food.
Small things: your favorite series being renewed for another season, your favorite artist dropping a new single or your favorite author writing a new book.
Ice cream in the torrid heat of the afternoon.
The smell of freshly-cut grass.
Your feelings are valid.
The sound of rain against the rooftop.
