I woke up early,
full of earnest plans
to be productive, organised,
and mildly impressive.
Then my brain entered the room
like an elephant.
Loud.
Unsubtle.
Completely impossible to ignore.
Every thought stomped in at once: “Do the dishes!” “Write something meaningful!” “Did you remember to breathe?” “Why does toast always burn when you’re watching it?”
I tried to be serious — I really did.
Very earnest about it too.
But some days, productivity looks like this: coffee in hand,
laughing at yourself,
and letting the elephant roam freely
instead of pretending it isn’t there.
Because even elephants,
when greeted kindly,
can be surprisingly gentle 🐘☕
