Echoes of the Garage

I’ve been working on balance — not the kind that comes from yoga or planners, but the kind that comes from learning when to say no and when to say yes.

Not to others.

To me.

I’m learning to step back from the algorithm, from the constant pull of attention and approval — from the quiet guilt that says I should always be doing.

Sometimes the work isn’t to relax.

It’s to be in tune — to listen to your own wants, even when what you want is silence.

And sometimes, the strongest “yes” is telling yourself no.
