“In observing what is, there comes a clarity that no effort can bring.”
— J. Krishnamurti

I didn’t try to meditate that day.
Didn’t try to be productive. Didn’t even try to be peaceful.

I just woke up, made some tea, and sat quietly by the window —
the way we all do sometimes when there’s nothing urgent chasing us.

And for once, I didn’t feel guilty about it.

The light came in slowly, soft like a memory.
The fan above me made a sound I’d never noticed before.
A bird landed on the balcony railing. Sat there. Flew off.

No caption. No photo. Just happened.

My tea got cold. And I let it.

Usually, I’d open my journal. Write something like:
“Grateful for the quiet.”

But that day — nothing in me needed to label it.
It just… was.

It’s funny how tiring “becoming” can be.

Becoming better.
Becoming calmer.
Becoming someone who has it all figured out.

I didn’t become anything that day.
And strangely, it felt more honest.

No performance.
No pressure.
Just me. And the moment.

I’ve spent years trying to improve myself.
Trying to read the right books, take the right steps, follow the right voices.

But on that morning, something in me sat down and whispered —

“It’s okay.”

Not “You’re doing great.”
Not “You’re amazing.”
Just… “It’s okay.”

And I believed it.

That day, I wasn’t writing for likes.
Wasn’t sitting for clarity.
Wasn’t chasing stillness.

Stillness just showed up — uninvited. And stayed.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of always becoming —
always fixing, always growing, always proving something to someone (maybe to yourself)…

Take one day.
Let it all drop.

Don’t try to be anything.

You might find that you were already enough —
long before you started trying.

Thanks for reading.

And sometimes, that’s more than enough.
