The specific weight of a cat on your chest.

The click of a seatbelt finding its slot.

A playlist someone else made for you.

The moment the Advil starts working.


Rain on a window you don't have to be in.

The smell of someone's cooking two floors down.

A stranger who holds the door.

Text message: *on my way*


None of this will save you.

All of it will help.
