I suffered, I was there.

My favorite feeling is when it’s winter and you wake up in the middle of the night and you look out the window and there’s snow on the ground and the sky is kind of light colored and it looks misplaced and kind of eerie but also comforting i love it the most
the smell of rain
seeing flowers grow
being excited about something
ice cream on a hot day
being in bed
listening to good songs
smelling nice
giving and receiving compliments
the kindness of strangers
being with friends
reading a good book
being proud of every small victory
buying new treats for yourself
the smell of pastries in a bakery
blue skies and pretty views
Erich Salomon - Kastanjeboom met feestverlichting, tegenover Koninklijk Paleis Noordeinde, 26-8-1938
God, how painful it is, being angry.
