Sunday morning,
I woke up many things to do but no single strength.
First: My laundry was there staring at me like"girl hope you can see me,and get ready to wash me"
Second: NEPA took light.
Third: My bank app sent me that "insufficient funds" notification. The audacity.
By 11am I was squished flat. Like a wrapper under a tire.
I laid on my bed stomach down and legs spread wide .
Sprayed my Confetti London "Red Apple" mist around the room. Smelled like a market and hope at the same time lol.
For 2 minutes the room felt clean. I felt clean. Even though my life was still a mess.
That’s the thing about being squished flat.
Sometimes you can’t fix it. You just find one small thing that makes you feel 1% better.
A shower. A song. A spray. A nap.
Then you get up and fight again tomorrow.
What’s the thing that squished YOU flat this week?
And what’s the small thing that un-squished you?
Tell me. I need to feel less alone in this 😭
