I’ve always loved the simple things. Things so simple that they make you appreciated the more intricately good things. I thought about it yesterday when I was on the phone with my parents and they asked, “How was your day?” To which I replied, “It was a pleasantly average day.” One of my favorite things is pleasantly average days. Not necessarily good or bad, just a day where you do your tasks and have average conversations and go home feeling averagely tired. That is my favorite simple thing.
I’ve been trying to focus on things like that lately. Things that I find average, simple, etc. Simple things that make me happy. Like the smell of rain. Laughing. The sound of crunchy leaves. Warm jackets.
Anyways, I think it is so incredibly cool that we, as humans, have the ability to find such joy in plain things, and I hope that we never lose that ability.
This is one of my favorite things about you Adele. You described it perfectly.
