For the days when everything feels too much

  Some days feel like a nightmare — full of pressure and rush. On those days I feel tired, overwhelmed, chased by tasks. It feels like my head is going to explode. Everything slips through my fingers and I lose control, unable to do anything and forced to do everything at the same time. The pressure squeezes me in a deadly hug, trying to drain all my energy and leave me barely breathing on the floor. It feels like there is a fog around me and my mind tries to see through it. Everything becomes too loud, too fast, or sometimes painfully slow. Anxiety fills my body like poison. When I feel that I’m losing the present from my sight, I try to stop and breathe. I take a small moment for myself — closing my eyes, trying to find the safe space in my soul, the refuge inside my body — and I tell myself: Everything will be fine. This will pass.

Birthday Girl 2025

 

birthday girl

I had my birthday on the 29th of September. Since it was a Monday, the day was quite busy. I wanted to stay at home and enjoy some quiet time with a movie, a book, and a hot drink. However, our boy was still snotty, and I couldn’t let him go to kindergarten, so relaxation had to wait for another time (hopefully not for life).

Furthermore, we had some work to do. Our Mondays are always full of tasks, and this one was no exception. On top of that, I had a parent meeting at the kindergarten. It lasted two hours — it was very interesting, and now I know more about my boy’s day. However, I couldn’t help looking at the clock often — I just wanted to eat cake and have some champagne.

Okay, it wasn’t a bad day at all. First, I got my dream gift — a treadmill! Since I was a little girl, it had always been my dream to have one of those. Now, living in Yasen, where I can’t go for a walk outside (too many stray dogs and too much mud) or do anything in the garden when the weather is bad, it’s the perfect gift. I have to admit, it stayed packed for a week by the front door, but I finally tested it — and I love it!

Second, a cute little baby orchid. Veni bought it for me, and I really hope it doesn’t die. My flowers usually don’t survive in Yasen — I can’t find a good spot for them, and the cat likes to knock them over. So I’m being extra careful with this one. It’s so beautiful and magical.

Third, a lovely unexpected surprise: the place we often order food from gave me a delicious biscuit, and I was over the moon. Such a warm and thoughtful gesture.

A few days later, my books arrived! One of my closest friends bought me four books — FOUR books! I was so excited when I got them, jumping around, hugging them, and smelling them. Pure happiness.

Almost forgot about the small present from Veni — an eccentric pen with a flamingo and fluff on top, and a cute little diary.

It was a strange birthday, but my partner and our boy were with me — and that’s what matters most. I’m grateful and happy.
