Near a crackling fire
reading a pleasant old book
Warm feet, holding tea.
Note: I hope you enjoyed my haiku and the watercolor painting too.

New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.
