Like a cosy cloud of softness coupled with an orthopaedic mattress underneath.
Relief and an achy feeling in your cheeks from smiling.
It’s just this warm whoosh that goes through you and starts just below the navel area, the pit of your tum.
A full belly and a nice nap.
People singing in the street.
In the back of my mind I just assumed I’d be in a boyband at some point.
Snobbishness, superiority, condescension.
Everything’s temporary, and how to make aioli.
I’m not interested.
Catastrophising.
