The 200-Day Guide

I bought this thinking it would be nice but probably a bit too soft for me. Day 9 made me cry. It felt so relieving to just let myself slow down. I didn't realize how much rushing through everything had been stressing me out.

I caught myself watching the steam come off my tea and I genuinely couldn't remember the last time I'd actually looked at something for that long. I didn't reach for my phone. I just watched it.

I skipped ahead to Day 110, but still. I ended up spending twenty minutes on a bench thinking about that version of myself. It felt nice to remember that.

I'm on day 25 and I've missed maybe four days total. I don't normally stick with things like this. I think it's because it doesn't feel like a streak. If I miss a day, It's just still there tomorrow. It's pretty inviting.
