The Mundane Thoughts Of Twig

Present 8/25/25

Tonight, I am

present.

I am aware of the

sadness

that bubbles under the surface, but I

do not let it control me.

I sit outside,

content, calm

The cicadas and crickets sing in a

constant rhythm

The soft breeze flows from the wind through my hair

The river ripples and its song travels far

The laughter of others fill my ears and I smile

And to think of I had let this sadness control me, I'd be spiraling right now, deeper and deeper sinking into my bed disassociating and scrolling

I almost laugh, the key to happiness and regulation can't be as easy as this

Going outside

Being connected to the thing that connects us all

Nature

I am sometimes sad, but tonight I'm very happy to be

Present
