For those who wake up wondering if they can do things right today

Mornings, sometimes,
even though nothing has started yet,
there are days when I'm already tired.

From the moment I open my eyes,
the anxiety of "Will I be able to do things right today?"
wakes up before I do.

Even though there is a mountain of things to do,
it feels like my heart is still left behind in the futon,
while my body is already heading into the morning.

The world outside the window is already moving,
and feeling like I'm the only one left behind by time,
I start to feel a little impatient.

But,
feeling heavy in the morning
doesn't mean you're weak.

It's because you've been living each day properly,
staying alert,
and carrying so many things.

It's just that
your heart got a little tired ahead of time.

So today,
you don't have to do everything perfectly.

Take one breath.
Drink one glass of water.

Just by doing that,
you've already started your day just fine.

If you keep moving
only on the thought that "I have to do my best,"
eventually, your heart won't be able to keep up.

Today,
instead of a "day to do things right,"
it's okay to have a "day where I don't leave myself behind."

Even if it's slow,
even if it's quiet,
it's okay to stop along the way.

May you be able to be
a little kinder to yourself today.
