“Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.”
― Thomas Keneally, Schindler's List


1. soulless, meaningless art 
2. pillows in forgotten closets, waiting for those who need a hug 
3. sheets someone has died in 
4. someone’s phone charger, kicked beneath a cupboard 
5. time 
6. stale bread 
7. the feeling you get when you meet a stranger’s wet eyes 
8. lovers 
9. a hideous vase you feel sorry for 
10. blurry faces 
11. a reception 
12. dirty sinks 
13. the best places to write poetry
