cushion
A cushion is the silent mediator wedged between harsh reality and human’s delicate desires. Each time someone relaxes, it sacrifices its shape only to be flattened and forgotten. Despite boasting durability, every tumble in the washing machine chips away at its brief lifespan. Its sole purpose exists in granting fleeting comfort to awkward postures. An uncelebrated household item that dutifully endures the relentless demands of backs and knees.
