2. Books

And the way you can pick or choose a portal to any world you want to be a part of, just by turning a page

3. Clothing

And the way you can tell others subtle things about yourself through fabric and skin

4. Family

And the way you can find features of yourself in black and white pictures of people that you have never met

5. Water

And the way that it remains a dangerous mystery, even when it is acknowledged for its beauty in vastness

6. Friends

7. Music

And the way you can find a sound to enhance every possible emotion or happening

8. History

10. Gratefulness

And the way that anyone can take a moment to appreciate the tiny things that make life worth it
