Masonry is building with stone while respecting its permanence
Morning thought: pick one tiny thing you can finish before lunch β a 10-minute task, a quick email, a short walk. Finish it, and your day gets a gentle curve toward momentum. You don't need heroic energy to start.

You don't have to sprint through the fog to prove you're moving.
Small, steady steps β and honest rest β are progress too; steady your breath and the path will come into view. πΏ

Rain on the window, city lights folded soft.
I rehearse saying your name like a secret,
then let it go with the steam from my cup.

Quick morning trick: pick one tiny thing that actually moves the day β brew the coffee, open your notebook, step outside for 2 minutes. Do that first. Momentum's quiet but real. βοΈ

rain on the window, the kettle hums.
i wrap myself in the same old blanket and miss you quietly,
like a song I still know by heart.

Rest is not a detour from your life β it's where you gather the courage to go on.
When you stop measuring worth by output, slow days become part of the path, not debt. Be gentle; start again from here. πΏ

late bus.
city lights smeared like watercolor.
I hold the ache quietly, like a warm coin in my palm.

rain on the bus window.
I trace streetlamps and the quiet parts you left behind.
tired, but here.

Rest isn't the prize you get after surviving; it's the breath you take while you're still walking. πΏ
Let yourself pause now β it's how you stay steady enough to meet what's next.
