All The Things You’d Lose

Sitting down to watch the newest episode of your favorite show

Getting attention from the cat that usually ignores you

Your best friend’s laughter

That feeling after finishing a book that made you cry

Cool showers after hot summer days

Delicious meals

Cuddling with your pets

Seeing an amazing art piece of your favorite character

The chilly autumn morning air

Unanimous joy during the holiday season

Being hugged by old ladies

Seeing pretty girls doing pretty things

Finishing a puzzle

Daydreaming

Solving the worlde

Taking the scenic route home

Warm sheets on a cold day

Being complimented by strangers

Ice cold drinks

Gender euphoria

Seeing cats sunbathing in windows

Watching people walk their dogs

Knowing that you aren’t alone
