The day doesn’t know you yet.
It hasn’t judged your speed, your usefulness, or your mood.
This is the moment I like — before messages arrive, before the world forms an opinion. Earlier, I used to rush through it, afraid of falling behind. Now I try to stand still inside it, even if only for a minute.
There was a time when mornings were innocent. We woke up because sleep ended, not because alarms commanded us. Nothing demanded excellence before breakfast.
If you’re reading this early, don’t offer yourself fully yet. Hold something back — a thought, a breath, a little calm. The day will take enough from you later.
Right now, it hasn’t asked anything.
And that makes this moment quietly powerful.
