I Let the Cold Air Wake Me Up

Dear Delyara, Before the phone. Before the school app. Before the day started entering through messages and tasks and the emotional weather of other people. I stepped outside and let cold air reach my face first. It changed something. Not in a magical healing-influencer kind of way. In a nervous-system way. The body got one clean moment of existing before service began. One minute where the world did not ask anything. It just touched me and moved through. That minute mattered much more than it should have. Perhaps because I have so few minutes like that.
