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?”\u00a0 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
