people for thousands of years have cared about YOU, and thought about you
the future
 how you're thinking about it right now
  how not a single soul on this earth really knows how the future is going to turn out

        hoodies/sweatshirts, sweatpants, warm blankets, bed, clothes straight out of the dryer
relief
 when you finally realize you don't have to worry about something anymore
colors of leaves in the fall and in the spring
pure joy and hilariousness of how excited dogs get over the simplest things, like a walk or some food
when you really make someone laugh or make them happy
Singing along to favorite music at the top of your voice
campfires and bonfires, the way they crackle, the way they spark like fireworks into the sky, and the way they inspire ghost stories, singing, and deep conversation; and bring a group of people closer together
total relaxation when you lay your head back, let your shoulders relax, and close your eyes while your hairdresser or barber shampoos your hair (I don't know why it's so relaxing but it is at least for me!)
