I was more than pretty
I was simply here, doing something that made me feel whole.
When the last batch cooled, I sat at the table with a cup of tea, watching the sunlight spill across the counter. My hands were dusted with flour, my hair slightly undone, and the air smelled sweet and alive. That was when it hit me — healing doesn’t always come as a revelation. Sometimes, it’s a quiet return to yourself. It happens in the smallest moments: the sound of a spoon scraping a bowl, the feel of warm ceramic between your palms, the simple act of breathing and realizing you are safe again.
