Let's talk about: comfort...

As a transitive verb comfort is defined as:

1 : to give strength and hope to : cheer 2 : to ease the grief or trouble of : console
as a noun:
1: strengthening aid: a: assistance , support comfort to the enemy> b: consolation in time of trouble or worry : solace
2 a: a feeling of relief or encouragement b: contented well-being comfort>
3
: a satisfying or enjoyable experience
4
: one that gives or brings comfort comforts of home>


Okay. Comfort is something one seeks through their whole life. often many go on this journey of life and never find someone they are comfortable with. however, on the other hand many people find comfort in numerous things.

alright that was a lie. people do find things. things they are comfortable with. everyone. because even wallowing and sadness we find comfort. because unfortunately it is familiar. it may be negative and more harm but it is superficial comfort. but SOMEONE they are comfortable with is hard to find. that is what we are searching for.

comfort.

it is good though to stretch outside our comfort zone reach beyond what we know. that is when we learn what we need. we can take an outside look at what we need. comfort is just one thing i want to provide for someone. because once that is reached then the world is open to explore and find what one wants.

comfort.

it is the stepping stone. maybe the search should be for more than comfort.

maybe it should be for solace. maybe for affection. maybe for laughter. maybe for support. maybe for joy. maybe for pleasure. maybe for happiness.

but is it just for comfort?

Musical genius of the day: Antje Duvekot


www.antjeduvekot.com

By way of Heidelberg, Germany Antje creates beautiful imagery with her lyrics and emits a feeling of comfort, atleast for me. Her lyrics are also extremely relatable and simple enough for universal interpretation. Vocally, she is extremely unique creating a sound the moves just enough and moves at just the right moments and give an appropriate punch to the sound almost forcing you to listen. I love her music.
