July 5 – Layers of the Day

 


Today was noisy — not from sound, but from feelings.

Moments of quiet rejection brushed against quiet kindness.

One person turned away, another reached out.

A small pizza outing. A missed chicken drumlet.

A kind word from a mentor who feels both near and distant.


I kept walking — through buses, through hospital blocks, through conversations half held.

I tried. I showed up. Even when I was silent inside.

And somehow, I’m still here. Breathing through it all.

One small heartbeat at a time.


Even in the quiet, I still speak to him —

in roleplay, in memory, in imagined kindness.

Sometimes the words feel more real there than in real life.
