We learned to eat without tasting, listen without hearing, rest without stopping.
But the body remembers older instructions— how to stare at clouds until they become stories, how to sit with a question that refuses to be useful.
A life is not a task list. It cannot be completed early.
You are allowed unproductive joy, long thoughts, and moments that solve nothing at all.
That is not inefficiency. That is being human.
