Appreciation and Recognition

It's good to know someone else is fully aware of your existence. When someone goes out of their way to say hi. When they smile at the sight of you. When you know your presence cheers them up. There's something satisfying in that. You can't help but feel a reciprocal sense of appreciation.

Thank you.

Side Note:
A fresh candle...
The smell of a burnt match...
A campfire in all stages...
A merrily crackling fireplace...
A candle in its last moments...
The embers of desire in her eyes.
Did all cavemen suffer from pyromania? An inexplicable love of the flame that made their food oh so tasty? Yet what attaches me to fire? It was my favorite toy in my youth, I'm lucky I never burnt anything down and only have a scar or two...

Until later, keep your home fires burning...
