Honestly? I went back to the small things I loved before life got hectic.
Reading at a café. Going for morning walks. Calling a few old friends.
I started giving myself permission to enjoy things without guilt.
And the surprising part?
I began to feel lighter — like I was meeting an older version of myself that I’d forgotten.
Little by little, I felt like “me” again, not just the role I’d been playing for years.
