I used to set my alarm
only to even numbers.
I used to set my alarm
only to even numbers.
The 23rd used to be a date I looked forward to.
A small anchor in the middle of the month. A day that tasted like laughter, shared moments, and that quiet feeling that life was exactly as it was meant to be.
There are nights that taste like freedom.
Some hearts were never taught how to close their doors.
Most people know the night as a place of rest. They close their eyes, pull the blanket up to their chin, and trust that someone is watching over them while they dream.
Like butterflies, we drift through life,
carried by winds we cannot see,
sometimes light as summer air,
sometimes heavy with all the things
our hearts long to hold.
When we look up at the night sky, we are not looking at the present.
At some point, we grow up. Not on a specific day. Not all at once. It happens quietly. Between schedules and responsibilities. Between bills that need to be paid and nights that suddenly seem too short. And without even noticing, we stop looking for shapes in the clouds. We walk past flowers without taking in their scent. We watch sunsets...
There are people who seem incredibly strong. They help, they keep going, they laugh, and they carry responsibility. Yet every single day, they fight a battle no one else can see.
Like bees, we move through life, guided by forces we don't always understand,
As a child, I thought healing meant going back to the way things were before. That wounds disappeared. That pain simply faded. That one day, everything would feel normal again.
Have you ever met someone who makes every room feel lighter the moment they walk in?
Someone who laughs a little louder.
Talks a little faster.
Dreams a little bigger.
Most people call them "a lot."
Very few ever ask what it's actually feels like to live inside their mind.
When, in reality, they've only seen the surface....
First love is like the first spring. It arrives after a long winter, without you knowing that somewhere beneath the frozen ground, something has already begun to grow.
There are people who touch our hearts.
Courage rarely feels like courage.
