9. Woke up out of a sound sleep.

Just read this on Bluesky and then your post. Sleep well. Sometimes box breathing works. Breathe in for 4 slow counts, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4.
Or the 4 6 7 breathing in for 4. Hold for 6. Exhale for 7.

I cried today.

Not because Iâ€™m weak.

Not because I canâ€™t handle it.

But because no human being was meant to live through years of war and remain untouched.

Sometimes tears are not a sign of weakness.

They are proof that your heart is still alive.
