-A warm 20-second hug, with my head resting on their chest
- Holding hands
- Intense, soul-touching eye contact
- “Hmmms” as responses during conversations
- Silent drives
- Getting into bed after a warm shower
- Holding space for self (lying flat on the bed with no thoughts, mind empty)
- Getting sunshine on my face and listening to chirping birds
- Watching a guilty pleasure show
- Laughing loudly or chuckling alone at reels and YouTube videos
- Making others laugh
- Listening to and looking intensely at others while they talk about something they are passionate about
- Venting to someone about the self and how complex yet simple life is
- Observing people and their interactions (staring at buildings and passing cars late into the night)
- Sounds of people going about their day (vessels clashing, traffic, people talking to each other)
- Being aware of the self and understanding I lack a lot
- Coming to terms with conflict and understanding that discomfort is an opportunity for growth
- Breathing
- Listening to “Kun Faya Kun” / Keertans (sometimes indie alternative rock and/or hip-hop)
- Staring at the fan and writing this
