A Rainbow List

Not named thus because I like rainbows, but because rainbows make me happy.

Things that fill me with joy: (in no particular order)

1. Rainbows. They’re rare, pretty, ethereal, and a sign of God’s covenant.

2. Puppies. They’re cute, even the ones that grow up to be unpretty dogs like bulldogs. And small and fragile. Makes me want to protect them and carry them home.

3. Hot soup. It radiates warmth as it travels down to your tummy, and feels good on rainy days (which is every day to me, now).

4. Hot showers. They relieve stress and muscle fatigue, and I like showers because that’s when I come up with ideas for my essays and so on.

5. Chocolate. Mmm. In all its forms. Gorgeous. It’s so versatile - it can be luxurious and decadent, or preppy in a Kit-Kat way. I always think Kit-Kat is kinda preppy. I don’t know why.

6. Sleep. 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep is a rare gem I continually search for.

7. Finishing an assignment. Imagine the release when your Sword of Damocles no longer dangles above your head.

8. My family. Now that I’m more grown-up and have my independence, it’s a lot easier to talk to my parents. And my sister and I no longer bicker over the remote, we have better things to do…

9. Being loved, and loving. Feels good. It makes you realise that you’re not alone, you don’t have to be alone and there is a future for you that isn’t as black as you imagine. It makes you optimistic!

10. My reflection. Because it means I exist. (Descartes scholars feel free to debate with me.)
