Choosing quiet joy
Joy isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like waking up without dread. Like cooking a familiar meal with no one to impress. Like choosing what comforts you even if it’s not what’s expected.
It’s easy to overlook quiet joy. It doesn’t demand attention. But it anchors you.
When everything else feels uncertain, joy can be your small rebellion. Choose it anyway. Even if you don’t think you’ve earned it. Especially then.
