My mind would not stop running and I kept staring at the ceiling until I gave up and made tea. I ended up sitting by the window watching the sky change from black to blue to pink. It was quiet and I felt peaceful for the first time in days.

I thought about all the things I have been worrying about lately. Work, relationships, the future. None of it felt as heavy at 5am with the sun coming up and the birds starting to sing. I realized that I spend so much time planning and stressing that I forget to just be still sometimes.

The sunrise lasted maybe twenty minutes. Then the day started properly and I made coffee and went back to my life. But I kept that feeling with me. The feeling that I do not need to have everything figured out. Sometimes the best thing I can do is just sit and watch the sun come up.

It reminded me that the best moments are often the ones you do not plan. I was not trying to watch the sunrise. I just happened to be there. I think that is how most good things happen. 💋

(Yes, I was extremely tired during the day but it was worth it😅)
