Food, clean water, fresh air, a place to sleep without interruption. Time to spend on my own, time to spend with my partner, time to spend on the world.

Sunlight during the day, stars at night-time.

Stories to read, and somewhere to tell my own.

The colours red, green, orange, brown. People who ask questions. People who listen. People who make me want to ask questions and listen.

Always there needs to be something new to learn. Kindness. Curiosity. The smell of rain on the ground.

And patience that one day I will have all these things, and not this artificial coldness, this windowless room, this manufactured air.
