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. You are strong enough. I try to return to the present by focusing on one task, just one thing I can do right now. Finishing that one small thi...

Small Act of Kindness

It was one of those mornings where you start rushing the moment you open your eyes.
Let me introduce you to my last few days:

1.     Finishing the new roof of our future home.

2.     Veni, my lovely partner, got sick.

3.     It started raining heavily, non-stop.

4.     My period was late, but all the pain was already there.

5.     I had tons of work.

I could feel the pressure building up — that familiar feeling of losing balance, of trying to juggle too many things at once.
I had to drop my little boy off at kindergarten.
The sky was pouring.
There was no place to park.
I ended up leaving the car in a huge puddle, because there was no time and the next task was waiting.

We ran down the pavement trying not to get completely soaked. Thankfully, he finally enjoys going to kindergarten, and I didn’t have to carry him while he cried — something that always breaks my heart into pieces.

I couldn’t have my usual breakfast, and I love food.
So I decided to stop at my favorite neighborhood café — the one with the warm atmosphere, amazing owners, and the best fresh pastries.
I just wanted a warm, fluffy croissant.

But when I went to pay, the surprise came:
it was a gift.

A gift for me.
I was so grateful, so happy.
At first I thought he had a birthday or something special happened, but he just smiled and said:
“No. Just a gift.”

I melted.

I thanked him, told him we’d see each other at lunch, and went back to my car to continue rushing through the day.
But at the traffic light, I felt tears in my eyes.
That small act of kindness filled my heart.
I was so touched, so grateful — reminded how beautiful people can be.

I hope every person in the world gets to experience moments like this as often as possible.

Thank you. ❤️
And may something wonderful fill your heart today, too.
