A Kind Day

Today my brain was nice to me, and I enjoyed it.

A day of being present. They don’t come often, but when they do, I soak up every moment. The air feels a little lighter, the noise quiets just enough, and I can actually feel my feet on the ground instead of floating somewhere far away.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if this could be my baseline , if peace didn’t feel like a visitor I’m afraid to scare off.

But today, I didn’t overthink it.

I just lived.

It was a good day, and for the first time in a while, I’m feeling some hope for the future, even if I’m running this race alone for now.

If I had a therapist, I’m sure they’d say something along the lines of, “What was different about today than usual?”

And I’d say: caffeine. Lots of caffeine. 🥸🤣
