You don't have to rewrite the story of your life, you are not a broken glass

You don't have to rewrite the story of your life, you are not a broken glass, waiting to be glued back together, but just a being in search of a corner of the world, where you can sit without being strong, like a flower letting the rain embrace it, without the fear of wilting under the weight of time and expectations. You just need a small chapter where you can breathe without fixing everything, where your heart can rest, like a tired bird finding peace in its nest, without apologizing for being tired, without asking permission to be. Sometimes, you don't need answers, you are the ocean, vast and deep, you can be calm without knowing why the tides are high or low, you just need someone to say "you're okay" and truly mean it, like the sun whispering, "Rest now, I'll return tomorrow." You want to remember how to laugh without guilt, to cry without shame, to feel like you belong somewhere even when you're lost, like the moon wandering in the dark sky without needing to explain its glow. You don't ask for eternity, you don't ask for much, just a pause between noises, to feel human again, like the wind stopping to let the earth breathe, a moment of silence in which to find your essence, to feel that you exist, like a star that shines just because it remembers how to glow.
