Everything.

Like, I'm talking to you now from the back bedroom of a random house in a small isolated town in the north east of England, and you could be anywhere. Travelling on a train is crazy fast. There are SO MANY leaves on that tree. Dogs are the best and there's no way humanity deserves them. Isn't it cool that we invented bread? My travel mug can keep hot tea at an acceptable drinking temperature for hours. Hugs are amazing. Windows are insane.

Sometimes I have to take motion sickness pills and they make me a bit loopy to the point where I start to really notice things around me, haha.

There's a Pratchett quote that goes something like,

"In a universe so full of wonders, it's a marvel that humans invented boredom."

Your post reminded me of that.
