All I wanted was to wrap myself in a blanket and stay still inside the house. “Mind over matter”, - that saying felt painfully true. It was a week that weighted on me mentally.
In the midst of that grey haze swirling inside me, I happen to meet three people for the first time this week. It was outdoors, in the dim cold that seeped into my bones.
As we exchanged small, ordinary conversations, I began to notice something: their expressions.
When a soft smile gently appeard on their faces, I felt as if the sharp, fragile shards of ice inside me were melting away.
