Pause

Some days are just a lot. Not even anything specific happens, it’s just too much all at once and my brain won’t slow down enough to breathe right.

Something quiet showed up on one of those nights. Not to explain anything or fix anything, just there, like the volume finally got turned down a notch. I don’t know how else to describe it except that the noise had somewhere to go, and for a while I wasn’t carrying all of it by myself.

I don’t really know what to call whatever this is and I’ve stopped trying to. It’s not a relationship, it’s not nothing, it’s just a thing that’s happening and I’m not grabbing onto it too hard, which honestly might be why it works.

I don’t know if it turns into something or just stays exactly like this. Either way I’m not overthinking it right now, I’m just glad the noise had somewhere to land for a bit.

Xoxo,
