Ik besef vanochtend weer hoeveel genoeg ik in mijn leven heb gebouwd. Gewoontes die anderen luxer doen (washand ipv douche, altijd zelf ontbijt maken...) maar waar ik een heel fijn leven mee heb. Zoveel genoeg zaken die me ruim voldoende genoegen geven. Of moet ik dan genoegens zeggen?
Het leven voelt iig heel 🥰 aan.
