Before the day names you, you get to name yourself first.
The world has opinions. It'll offer them freely.
Demanding. Comparing. Measuring.
But there's a window. A small one.
Before any of that arrives.
A few words you plant in quiet soil before the noise does it for you.
Not performance. Not a script.
Just something true and kind directed inward.
Think big. Think steady. Think enough.
The day tends to move toward whatever you whispered to it at the start.
