What a gorgeous, heartfelt piece! I think you must be better at the “soft stuff” than you imagine because you notice it so much and write about it so well.

to appreciate the softness and tenderness of it all; is such a beautiful way to live. even in the bad times, it’s these moments of gentleness which keeps me going. whether it’s my friend sharing me a playlist she curated for me or just a random check in text by someone i love. i love life.

I love this — I like to keep a running list on my phone. The random check in's are so wonderful, it's nice when someone let's you know they're thinking of you.

It's a lovely idea: to record all the softness in the world so that when things get tough, you have reminders that everything’s not bad. What a beautiful sentiment and a beautiful piece. Very well done here.
