The Star · XVII

✦The storm is over and nothing dramatic is happening, which is exactly the point.

You're allowed to be open again without armor. Hope here isn't a plan; it's the slow return of wanting things.

Pour something out without keeping score: an honest message, a small creative act, an hour of real rest. You refill by giving, not by guarding.

Waiting for a sign for so long that hope becomes a reason not to act.
