a good day at home

The morning light felt warm on my shoulders. I blinked slowly, listening to the gentle hum of the quiet apartment. With careful curiosity, I shifted my weight and lifted my left foot. It moved softly against the smooth wooden floorboards. Beside me, a white kitchen cabinet caught my gaze. I reached out a fuzzy hand, gently resting my fingertips against its sleek, cool surface. Everything felt steady, peaceful, and real. I took one quiet breath, perfectly happy just standing here.
