Last week, everything went wrong.
I had a small accident, nothing life-threatening, but enough to shake me.
A few days later, I lost my job too.
It felt like life was just stacking things against me for no reason.
I couldn’t sleep properly, kept replaying everything in my head.
Today, I went out after days just to clear my mind. No plan, no destination.
I sat near a quiet place, just watching people move on with their lives.
And for the first time in days… my mind went silent.
Nothing changed externally.
I’m still jobless. Still recovering.
But something inside felt… lighter.
Maybe not everything that breaks you is meant to end you.
Maybe some things are just… pauses.
I don’t know what’s next.
But for the first time this week, I’m not scared of it.
