Window

Every now and then, I catch myself zoomed all the way in, overthinking, stuck in some small loop of anxiety or fear. And then something pulls me out of it. A song, a conversation, a walk. And it’s like I’ve opened a window. I remember there’s a whole world out there, not just the one in my head. It’s easy to forget how limited our view becomes when we’re stuck in survival mode. But when I get that window, when I remember to look up, to look out, I breathe deeper. I feel lighter. It doesn’t fix everything, but it reminds me that perspective isn’t just a concept. It’s a lifeline.
