Let Us Discuss: Simple Pleasures of Life

Today is the first of a new month. For me, that means it’s New Contact Lens Day.

I enjoy the feeling of fresh contact lenses on my eyes. The smell of the storage solution that is slightly different from any over-the-counter solution... the look of a new lens as it sits upon fingerpoint, ready to perform the task for which it was made...

And so I ask: what are your life’s simple pleasures?

Fresh laundry? A tasty sometimes-food? An organized cupboard? Or something else entirely...

    - sleeping
    - any time I get to be naked. I had grown really used to sleeping naked, then kids came along
    - food, in general. There is so much pleasure to be derived from good food. I don’t think I can pick a particular food. Sometimes even just plain toast can be amazing if you’re hungry
    - yeah, organized drawers/shelves definitely do it for me. You know how everyone has that odds-and-ends drawer? Mori’s parents had one, then we took over their kitchen and I got drawer dividers and turned it into a supplies drawer where finally you could find the scissors/tape/string/tape/batteries you were looking for. I love supplies closets.
    - the feeling when you’ve done all your chores, you have nowhere to be the next day, and you can just get into your PJs and do whatever you like, guilt-free, because there’s nothing else to take care of. You can binge-watch a show or get absorbed in a game and no one can judge you.
    - fresh bedsheets, mmmm.

    Having a hot shower in the winter, letting the washroom steam up. Then turning the shower off, and opening the window while just standing there.

    Sleep is good but really, it's falling asleep that's the most pleasurable part. Lying in the dark, snuggled up under your preferred amount of blankets and/or sheets, clearing your mind, the wonderfully heavy feeling of your whole body relaxing completely, the moment right before you cross the threshold into unconsciousness and then on into the realm of dreams.

    Sleep is definitely my favourite part of the day.

    I'm also definitely still lying in bed on my phone instead of sleeping.

    oh oh, when you can feel a big cry on and it coincides with shower availability so you can just have it out in that hot wet little wet room

    when you get compliments from old ladies because you held the door for them

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    I don't want to do anything while high except listen to other people have a conversation

    the topic is irrelevant

  • DepressperadoDepressperado I just wanted to see you laughing in the pizza rainRegistered User regular
    isn't it amazing all the stuff you can do while high

    I tend to experience weird time dilation when showering while high so I’ll think “I’ve been in here for fifteen minutes” and when I get out it’s been, like, three.

    As someone who tends to take quick showers the perception of a long shower being in reality a very short one is great!

  • DepressperadoDepressperado I just wanted to see you laughing in the pizza rainRegistered User regular
    oh, this doesn't really happen ever any more, which is sad, but

    me and my friends used to take high naps together, which I think is beautiful, haha.

    we'd be like, sprawled on couches and pillows and sharing the bed, everybody just gonna take a two hour nap, listen to the quiet breaths of your companions
