This morning felt different.
I woke up two hours earlier than usual, and within moments, a heavy memory washed over me like a tidal wave. The events of last night were still fresh in my mind, lingering like uninvited guests. I knew right away that I hadn’t fully processed the situation. It was there, unresolved, simmering below the surface.
To be honest, I felt grateful that I had managed to sleep. Anyone who’s wrestled with an overactive mind at night knows how much of a blessing rest can be during moments of inner turmoil. But waking up early felt like my body was nudging me—telling me, "Let’s deal with this. It’s time to understand and release."
This wasn’t a new issue, though. If anything, the recurring nature of my emotional reaction was proof of deeper layers to uncover. The first question I had to ask myself was: What exactly triggered me? No clear answer came to mind. So, I stopped writing this exact story, (and then) closed my laptop, and sat down to meditate with a simple intention: to connect with my inner self and find clarity.
