My mind and my heart both feel troubled lately. Even as a winter kid, the season has felt heavier to me than it should. The cold, the snow, even Christmas carries this heaviness I can’t quite shake, and I have my own reasons for that. The holidays passed, and I thought maybe New Year’s Eve would shift something, but nothing really changed. The same thoughts keep circling, sticking to me like mud. They never really leave.
I made this blog hoping it might ease something in me, that writing things out would help me breathe a little better. I wanted a place to let go of the negativity and the tiredness that’s been following me around. But it still feels like I’m dragging the same weight behind me, no matter what I do.
I keep wishing I could be stronger, or at least feel like I’m functioning the way people expect me to. Last year was hard, and this one hasn’t started any softer. I keep trying to convince myself that things will get better, that maybe I’ll wake up one morning and feel lighter, or clearer, or something close to hopeful.
Maybe that will happen. Maybe not yet, but someday.
One day.
