Maybe this is for you and maybe it isn’t. No worries one way or the other, but

if you have a moment, look away from the train wreck for awhile. I won’t get mad at you for taking a break.

Have some tea, or at least a sip of water. Wrap yourself in a blanket if you’re cold. Go to a window, and breathe in the air that smells like rain. You would miss the smell of rain, if it wasn’t there. Listen to the wind. Look at the gaps between the tree branches. There will only be so many stolen moments for looking at trees. Stars too.

Rinse off. Have something to eat. Brush your teeth. Rest well, even if all you can do is lay down and close your eyes. Don’t forget the meds.

If you need to escape into a book or a show or a video game for a bit, I wish you a comfortably immersive experience.

If you need to be buried in work, for a while – then be buried. But also remember to breathe.
