I treated the warning signs like interruptions

Dear Delyara, I’m realizing how long I treated my body’s signals as interruptions rather than information. Pain, fatigue, tension, poor sleep, heaviness — all of it got translated into “later.” As if the body should politely wait until I had become less busy, less needed, less caught in life. That mindset feels absurd when I say it clearly, and yet I lived from it for years. I am trying to change that. I am trying to become someone who listens sooner. But first I have to admit how much I normalized not listening at all.
