I did not let one mood become a whole identity Dear Delyara,

Dear Delyara, I woke up low today and something different happened. I didn’t immediately turn that mood into a verdict about myself. There was a time when one bad feeling could become my whole story for the day. Sad meant broken. Anxious meant failing. Tired meant weak. Heavy meant doomed. Today I just felt low. That distinction sounds small. It isn’t. It gave the feeling room to pass through me instead of building a life inside me.
