- 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 ;)
Your kind is rare these days. People cant go to the toilet without their phone.
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.
My ideal pick would be Desolation Island by Patrick O’Brian read by Patrick Tull
Twin Peaks
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)

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.
