I've been feeling rather sickly for two weeks, polar bear size chills creeping and tiptoeing inside my bones.
And sometimes, when you feel poorly for a very long time
it is hard to not get sad.
That is why it's important to keep a few of your most favorite things close by; because
an autumn time sickness can be the loneliest kind of sickness there is.
Here are some of the things that make me feel better:
Wearing rose petal perfume even if nobody is there to smell it.
Stories of Lillith and ghost fish and giant conch shells that keep secrets.
Looking at pictures of nighttime seashores and drawing my dreams in pencil; even the scary ones.
Eating one more spoonful of soup, even when all I want is chocolate cake.
someone to play banjo songs for me and make me laugh when I'm feeling grumpy.
someone who doesn't mind when I don't laugh because I am feeling grumpy.
