I just need a porch with a hammock where I can spend my mornings drinking coffee, and evenings watching the sun go down.
Perfect rainy Sunday music to play while reading a book

“‘It’s not that I don’t like people. It’s just that when I’m in the company of others - even my nearest and dearest - there always comes a moment when I’d rather be reading a book.”
