There’s something quiet and grounding about sitting here. Here, I don’t have to be anyone in particular. I can just be. This place gives me space to breathe, to think, or not think. And sometimes, that’s exactly what I need to feel safe.
When I sit on my balcony in the early evening, I hear the birds singing. What a beautiful contrast: I see the concrete houses on my street and hear the birds singing at the same time.
