Busy Beings… | Note to Self

 

I lied and said I was busy.

I was busy;

but not in a way most people understand.

 

I was busy taking deeper breaths.

I was busy silencing irrational thoughts.

I was busy calming a racing heart.

I was busy telling myself I am okay.

 

Sometimes, this is my busy –

and I will not apologize for it.
