Today, I feel your heartbeat in everything.
The way the morning light slips through my window,
the quiet hum of people beginning their day —
it all feels like a gentle reminder: I’m here, I’m alive, I’m enough.

I used to think happiness was something to chase,
something waiting at the end of an achievement or a dream.
But now, I see it’s woven into small moments —
the laughter between friends,
the peace in breathing without rush,
the warmth of simply existing in this second.

You’ve taught me that joy doesn’t always come in fireworks.
Sometimes it’s a candle — soft, steady, glowing quietly inside.
And today, I carry that light proudly.
I smile without reason.
I dance without music.
I love without hesitation.
