i'm thankful how after we have really good sex for a few moments all the other problems that i spend the rest of my life obsessing over seem so insignificant, like if i can feel like this with her right now why does all the rest of it matter and why do i spend so much energy worrying about it all.
i'm thankful, outside of the bubble of that feeling now (though still softened by it, reality blunted), to know that the rest of it does matter, and that i need to believe it matters in order for us to live under a roof and stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer, bellies full of fruit, but i'm thankful to sometimes get access to moments where it's possible to see life in a different way.
