Holding hands under blankets
Listening to old songs and letting them carry you to an another time
Owning a journal and filling it with your favourite moments of the season so you won't forget about them because they will become moments from your past one day so they are important
Picking up a random book from your dusty shelf and daring to finish it
Covering yourself with tones of clothes from head to toe
Sleepovers with friends
Having lunch dates with friends in their car while the rain is pouring outside
Hydrating and moisturizing
Drawing symbols on the windows covered with humidity
Spending your free time napping or getting cozy under your blankets while watching your favorite movie
Making handmade cards then sending them to your dearest people
Rescuing stray cats and giving them shelter
Romanticizing your life by thinking that everything you do is worth the care and admiration
Reading, reading and reading
Going to art exhibitions of artists you've never heard of
Long walks alone or with your friends and making up back stories for people you see on the street
Waking up early than usual when the world is still asleep
Listening to some playlists made by strangers on the internet
The agreeable warmth of your cocoa cup between your hands
Feeling the delicate coldness of the snowflakes on your skin
“You never forget. It must be somewhere inside of you. Even if the brain has forgotten, perhaps the teeth remember. Or the fingers.”
— Neil Gaiman
