The Sky Helped More Than I Expected
Dear Delyara, I don’t always need a life-changing moment to feel better. Sometimes I just need to look at the sky. That sounds too simple, but simplicity is often what reaches me now. A patch of light at the end of the day. Rain on pavement. Trees moving in a way that reminds me the world is larger than whatever has made my thoughts narrow and panicked. Nature has become one of the few places where I can still feel small in a comforting way. Not irrelevant. Just relieved of being the center of every problem. It helps more than people realize.
