new sweater

There wasn’t any particular reason to dress up today.
No plans. No appointments.
Just the quiet kind of day where the sunlight lands gently on the walls, and your thoughts walk slower than usual.

I reached for this sweater — soft, ribbed, warm in color.
It hugged me just right, not too tight, not too loose.
I didn’t pick it to be seen, I picked it because it felt like me.

There are days when we try hard to be something —
but today, I didn’t try at all.
And maybe that’s what made it feel so good.

We don’t always need loud days.
Some of the best ones whisper.
