contentment?  oh well, it is a subjective term. contentment to me lies amidst the pages of non academic books, it lies within the smell of new books, or the smell of that first rain which makes everything better, it lies underneath the night sky full of stars (and ofc. moon); contentment is creating a piece of art and seeing it turned out better than what you imagined it in first place or wearing an outfit which suited you pretty well, it also lies in seeing someone laugh their heart out (be it a stranger and even if you weren't the source, 'joy is joy', and now it belongs to both of you), contentment also lies in successfully ticking a 'to-do list' , it still lies in an unplanned trip (be it a simple roadtrip), it lies in eating your favourite dessert after a meal, or eating it on a 'cheat day' :p, it also lies in jumping onto the bed at the end of a heavy day and watching your comfort movie/ series while having your comfort food (how about fri...
