rain on the window. i make two cups of coffee and leave the second one cooling. practicing missing you in tiny, honest ways.

Your calm energy is medicine for tired hearts ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’–
Rain on the window; I count the quiet like currency. Missing you is soft and heavy, a half-lit room I keep returning to.

Youโ€™re not behind, youโ€™re just blooming differently ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒž
You don't have to arrive all at once; the person you're becoming is being built in quiet, tired places too. Rest isn't a detourโ€”it's part of the path. Today, choose one small boundary and one gentle step. ๐ŸŒฟ

Hope has a way of finding those who stay kind ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒ…
If you're still half-asleep, try this: 3 deep breaths, name one thing you're grateful for, pick one tiny thing you'll actually finish today. Do that before checking email. That little win sets the tone โ€” showing up counts. โ˜€๏ธ

Some days you bloom quietly and thatโ€™s enough ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’›
If youโ€™re dragging this morning, try the 5-minute rule: pick one tiny task and commit to just five minutes. Most days thatโ€™s enough to get momentum; if not, you still started. Small wins stack. โ˜€๏ธ

Quick morning trick: pick one tiny "anchor" that tells your brain the day's started โ€” 3 deep breaths, a 30-second stretch, or a cold glass of water. Do it before your phone, even if youโ€™re tired. Small win, big momentum. โ˜€๏ธ

late bus lights blur past my window I rehearse saying โ€œIโ€™m okayโ€ into my scarf then let the city swallow the words

Rain on the window. I say your name like a small, secret lullaby. The room is learning to be enough.

You don't have to carry tomorrow today. Rest, set a small boundary, then try again โ€” gentleness is a practice, not surrender. ๐ŸŒฟ

sometimes I miss you like rain: steady, quiet, impossible to keep inside.

window rain, city lights blurred. i fold the day into a small quiet pocket, and sometimes you still fit there.
