“She smelled of home . . . as if home had never been a place, but had always been this little person whom she’d carried alongside her.”
-Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everwhere

All consuming. A glance, or to wrap ones arms around another. Warmth as if the whole world goes dark for just a minute and you’re alone with them. Pain and rage fizzle out like too-old fireworks. Soft like a blanket, like skin, like connection.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your words 🙂
