when my mind won’t stop spinning but I still want to be soft.

There are days when my brain is loud, and my heart is louder.

I overthink texts I never sent.
I replay conversations that never happened.
I cry — not for attention, but because silence makes the sadness louder.

But then…
I light a candle.
I write.
I romanticize my tears.
And somehow, I find softness in the storm.

This is one of those days.
And if you’re in one of them too —
You’re not alone, love. 💌
