Tomorrow won’t be as exhausting as today

Dear you,

Sometimes in life, you don’t need a lot of big things.
Not the grand wins or the loud applauses.
Sometimes… all you need is a friendship, quiet and steady.
Someone wise enough to guide you gently, someone kind enough to tell you, “It’s going to be alright.”
Someone who won’t fix everything, but will stand beside you while you take your next step.

I long for a warm, long hug.
A tight embrace I can lean into
Just for a moment, to let out the longest sigh.
And,
it will loosen the knots inside and breathe life back into tired bones.

So I can go just a little further… before I feel exhausted again.

I dream of sitting for hours with someone,
Sipping a chilled glass of wine,
Talking about everything under the sun,
And maybe, just maybe, holding hands every now and then.
Not having to worry about anything. Not having to be anything other than myself.

A golden cocoon.
That’s what I wish for.
Something built just for two souls, where we find peace for a few borrowed minutes,

Before the world comes calling again.

That’s all I need.
Just one human.
Someone who sees me: not who I’m expected to be, not who I pretend to be, but who I truly am.

Someone who will hold me, not to fix me,
But to ease the weight I carry.
So that maybe, just maybe,
Tomorrow won’t be as exhausting as today.

If you're out there,
I hope you find this letter.
And if not today, then someday soon.

With a tired heart and quiet hope,

Me 💕
