- Read and write.
- Watch sunrise and sunset
- Make my spouse and I a cup of fine tea we will slowly appreciate together.
- Go out for a walk.
- Watch… birds,and insects. And sketch them, or whatever street scene I may be in.
- Have a discussion with a person that is not driven by pure and uncontrolled emotions (more often than not, negative emotions).
- Have a shower. Like, it’s silly how much I like that ;)
Most things that Loading Ready Run have streamed are nice. Or commodoreHUSTLE is fun but even though I’ve watched those a lot I might accidentally okay attention instead of sleep (which is what I wasn’t for cozy)
Charles Schultz once said, “There are three things that people like to just sit and watch: softly falling snow, an open fire, and a Zamboni driving around a rink.”
Must’ve not spent time near the ocean
Note to self: Zamboni ambience next time I need some quiet.
On a cold winter night I like to light a fire in my fireplace and sling my hammock in front of it and get baked and listen to an audiobook
Oh my goodness, hammock by a fire place alone sounds incredible. With a book? Chefs kiss.

I’m an introvert with a very active imagination, high intellectual needs, and it’s tough to fall asleep. So, I kinda need to burn out to relax.

For me, it’s usually watching folks producing music or playing games, I say as I’m watching yet another first time hollow knight playthrough. I definitely want to shout out watching folks produce music though, like Bishu and Eliminate have YouTube channels. it’s fascinating, inspiring, and usually super chill.
