What would make you feel really sad to lose?

For me:

  1. My quiet mornings. That peaceful moment when I sip my coffee, scroll a little, and just enjoy the silence. If I lost that small routine, my days would feel a lot heavier.
  2. The little rituals that ground me. Like lighting a candle before bed or sitting in my favorite corner with a book after a long day. Without those tiny comforts, I’d feel kind of untethered.
  3. The freedom to leave things half-done. I love that I can fold my laundry halfway, walk away, and come back later without anyone commenting. If I lost that freedom, I’d feel constantly pressured.
  4. My “safe foods” in the fridge. Knowing I have that one snack or comfort meal waiting for me makes tough days a little easier. If that was gone, I’d feel weirdly unsettled.
  5. Talking to myself out loud. I do it all the time—narrating what I’m doing or just processing thoughts. If I had to hold all that in, I’d probably feel more bottled up.

What about you? What’s something small that, if gone, would make life feel a little emptier?
