I watched a bird do absolutely nothing useful and felt better

Dear Delyara, I mean that literally. It sat there. Then moved. Then sat somewhere else. No purpose I could identify. No productivity. No lesson. And somehow that loosened something in me. I think part of what healed me in that moment was being reminded that existence does not always need to justify itself through output, growth, or efficiency. The bird was simply alive. It wasn’t proving anything. That was the exact kind of reminder I needed this week.
