I pause. I breathe in slowly. And breathe out gently. I release the pressure to perform. I release the need to appear normal. Right now I give myself permission to simply be. Breathing in calm. Breathing out tension. Breathing in peace. Breathing out the worries, The doubts, The expectations. I have worked so hard to fit in. I honor that effort. But I do not need to hide who I am. My mind may move differently. But my mind is creative, Alive and full of light. Being myself is not something to apologize for. Being myself is a gift. With every breath, My body softens. My shoulders relax. My thoughts slow down. I am safe in this moment. I am allowed to rest. I am allowed to exist exactly as I am. I let go of the exhausting mask. I return to my true self. My presence matters. My light matters. The world is better because I am here. Breathing in calm. Breathing in peace. This is my gentle reset. This is my return to myself. It is okay to be me. And so it is.
