You can let yourself be here,
Without fixing anything.
There is no problem you need to solve in order to stay.
Many of us have learned to meet ourselves with a list of adjustments.
What needs to change,
What should feel different,
What would make this moment acceptable.
That reflex can be gentle,
Almost caring,
But it still asks you to move away from what is actually happening.
Notice if there is an urge to improve this moment,
To soften a feeling,
To make sense of it,
To arrive somewhere better.
See if that urge can pause.
You are not being careless by not fixing,
You are being present.
Fixing often comes from love,
From wanting things to be easier,
But presence comes from trust.
Trust that what is here does not need immediate correction to be allowed.
You can notice sensations without adjusting them,
Thoughts without following them,
Emotions without editing their shape.
Nothing needs to be cleaned up,
Nothing needs to be made useful.
This moment is not asking you to do better.
It is simply asking you to stay.
When fixing stops,
There is often space,
Not empty space,
But breathable space,
A place where the body does not feel rushed to resolve itself.
You are allowed to be unfinished here,
You are allowed to let this moment exist as it is,
Without correction,
Without improvement,
Without interference.
