Something I yearn for when I’m quiet:
Time to read, connect with people without screens, smell delicious food, taste delicious flavors, look into people’s eyes, hug someone for longer than 5 seconds, move my body without shame, laugh uncontrollably, do things I used to do as a child: color, draw, sing, ballet, listen to music, learn new lyrics and learn new words, share things I love with people I love, write letters, write on my journal, go to the library. Smell books.
