Suddenly, I feel so content. I sat down, but thought it would be nice to light a candle. Palo Santo. The wicks were all charred and frayed, so I cut them down. I made tea. Lavender and chamomile, a drop of honey. I used the Keurig to warm the water. I had always been adamant that it’s better to just boil the water, but I have been trying lately to take some things less seriously.

I sat with my tea and my journal in front of the freshly lit candle already filling the room with fragrance. I was going to use this moment to write out all of my wildest dreams. But then I remembered how this moment had once been a dream. And suddenly I feel so content.
