It’s knowing that its waiting for you downstairs. The crunch of turning the page. Finding your own best practices for folding it. Reading it in short moments through the day. Saving a piece for your bud. Keeping the stacks so your parents can use it as kindling. And then knowing you get to do it all over again.
I've started to find comfort in reading the news everyday. It makes me feel very grandpa to be like one second I just need to take a look at the news. And don't get me wrong the news is not all that comforting right now. But it's a soothing routine to have. It feels productive, I get to learn something. It's nice.
if you can’t think of something to gift someone that they may want/use, then you’re better off not giving them anything. no one wants more junk as a gift. flowers are also always nice cuz when they’re not nice anymore you can toss it and not feel guilt.
