Five things in In My World

I don’t know what to write about but I want to write anyway so I’m going to use my anxiety grounding technique…

Find Five things you can see, four things you can feel, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.

5: Sunlight coming in through the window and against the curtain. Facebook messenger open on my phone. Rainbow baby shoes that light up. A shelf of DVDs most of which I haven’t seen. Shark stroller folded in the corner near the front door.

4: Hunger pangs in my stomach. Rocking of the chair I’m sitting in. My left eye twitching slightly. The bruises on my thigh from where the laptop is pressing into them.

3: Bossman talking on the phone–I can hear him through the floor because he’s in the basement. The low hum of my laptop fan. Bossman’s dog quietly snoring.

2: Bossman has some kind of meat cooking in the oven. The familiar smell of their house, I can’t explain what it is but it’s comforting

3: Lingering Bang energy drink.
