Three Things Challenge #MM548
Today’s three words:
ROUGH • RIPEN • RESET.
The Reset Button 💜
Life had been rough lately.
Not one enormous disaster.
Just dozens of little things piling themselves on top of one another until even the smallest inconvenience felt enormous.
She wanted a reset button.
Not for her whole life.
Just perhaps…
Tuesday. 😂
She imagined pressing a big red button and watching everything disappear.
The unanswered messages.
The laundry.
The bills.
The things she couldn’t fix.
The things she couldn’t control.
Unfortunately, life didn’t come with one.
So she made her own.
She put the kettle on.
Opened the window.
Turned on some music.
And sat quietly for five minutes without trying to solve anything.
Outside, fruit was beginning to ripen on a tree.
It didn’t hurry.
It didn’t compare itself to yesterday.
It simply took what it needed from the sun and continued becoming.
She smiled.
Perhaps she could do that too.
A reset wasn’t erasing everything that had been rough.
It was deciding that the rough parts didn’t get to write the next chapter.
She picked up her coffee.
Tuesday could stay exactly as it was.
She would begin again from here.
