Sometimes, Everything around you feels slightly too close, Not dangerous, Just too near. The sounds, The requests, The movement, The way the day starts leaning inward without leaving enough room for your body to stay settled. And if that is happening, It does not mean you are becoming difficult. It may simply mean your system is feeling compressed. When that compression builds, The breath gets smaller, The chest gets tighter, The mind starts searching for more space than the moment seems to offer. So before you push through it, Pause here, Let the breath come in without reaching outward, And let it leave without carrying the pressure further in. Feel your body, Your outline, Your weight, The simple fact that you still exist. You do not need to change everything around you to begin feeling more space. You only need to stop letting everything come all the way in. Take one more breath here, And let your body have a little more room. And let this be enough. The world can stay near.
