The world is still loading when you wake up early enough.
Traffic hasn’t decided its mood. News hasn’t begun shouting. Even your own thoughts feel undecided.
There’s a softness here that doesn’t last long. I notice it more now — how the mind hasn’t yet picked a side. Not optimistic. Not tired. Just open.
Earlier, mornings felt endless because we didn’t try to use them well. Now we try too hard. We squeeze meaning out of every hour until nothing feels natural.
If you’re awake at this hour, don’t rush to define the day. Let it remain unnamed for a while. Some days behave better when you don’t label them too soon.
For a few minutes at least, the world is still loading.
And so are you.
