Today just feels heavy

Some days arrive heavy for no reason you can point to, and they're harder precisely because they're so hard to explain. You don't have to justify the weight you're feeling or earn the right to feel it. Heaviness isn't a sign you're doing life wrong; sometimes it's just the cost of being someone who feels things. You don't have to lift it right now — you can set it down beside you for a while.
