Me: “I’ll just check Twitter for 5 minutes”
Also me 3 hours later: still here, emotionally attached to a stranger’s dog and questioning my life choices
Who else is chronically online like this? 😂
The version of you that’s tired, doubtful, or overwhelmed still showed up.
That alone makes you stronger than yesterday.
Give yourself credit… then keep moving.
Here’s a shorter version:
Hey friend 🌿
If your mind feels busy today, try this:
Take three slow breaths.
Feel your feet on the ground.
Or simply notice five things you can see.
No pressure. Even one small pause is enough.
Be gentle with yourself 🤍
Your future self is watching.
Don’t make them disappointed.Want me to adjust the tone, add hashtags, make it longer/shorter, or create posts on a specific topic? Just say the word.
My mom slipped away just before dawn.
The birds still started singing.
The dog still needed his walk.
Someone left a voicemail about the group chat.
And the kettle still boiled like nothing had changed.
It feels almost cruel that the world kept spinning.
Rest in peace, Ben Jones 🕊️
