Thereās nothing wrong
with wearing an old, oversized hoodie at home,
keeping that one pair of jeans that fits just right,
because some clothes arenāt just fabric,
they feel like comfort on the hardest days.
Thereās nothing wrong
with using a phone that freezes at the worst moments,
tapping the screen twice to make it work,
because it still holds messages that made you smile,
photos of people you never want to forget,
and reminders of moments that felt like home.
Thereās nothing wrong
with drinking coffee from a mug with a tiny chip,
dipping cookies until theyāre just about to break,
adding water to the last bit of soap,
or rolling up the toothpaste tube to get every last drop.
Thereās nothing wrong
with saving old takeout containers for storage,
keeping shopping bags tucked in a drawer ājust in case,ā
or using an empty jar to hold pens that barely work,
because somehow, these little things always come in handy.
Thereās nothing wrong
with living in a home where the paint isnāt perfect,
where the fan makes a noise but still does its job,
where the fridge door needs an extra push to close,
because inside those walls, thereās warmth, love, and stories.
Thereās nothing wrong
with eating a simple meal on a busy day,
replaying the same song because it just feels right,
or watching an old movie youāve seen a hundred times,
because comfort isnāt always in something newā
sometimes, itās in what we already have.
Sometimes, we wish for moreā
something bigger, shinier, something untouched.
But in the smell of home-cooked food,
in the sound of laughter from another room,
in the quiet peace of a place thatās ours,
we already have more than enough.
