You can be happy now.

Not tomorrow.

Not after fixing everything.

Now.

Smile

the kind that doesn’t ask permission.

Laugh

even if it surprises you.

Dance

not like a star

but like someone

finally alone

with their own body.

Let the sky

watch you

without judging.

Let the wind pass by

and not explain yourself to it.

You don’t owe the universe

a performance.

Be one

with the person

who wakes up inside you

every morning

before your name does.

You call it your soul.

I call it

the one who waits.

When that soul

stands at your doorstep

unannounced

hands empty

eyes tired

would you open the door

or pretend

you are not home?

The door of my heart

is not always open.

It closes

on busy days.

On loud nights.

On days I forget myself.

But on weekends

and slow holidays

when time loosens its grip

I leave it unlocked.

No conditions.

No explanations.

If you’re coming to stay

come gently.

This is where the quiet things live.

The unfinished dreams.

The soft fears.

The beautiful mess.

If you’re looking for beauty

you won’t find perfection here.

You’ll find

someone

still choosing to let themselves in.

Just like you.
