So here’s your soft reminder for today, friend: You don’t have to fix everything today. You don’t have to be productive. You don’t have to post the perfect thing or say the smart thing or be the brave thing. Just pick up a few pebbles. Pet the in-game cat. Save your game and close the lid. Tomorrow is another save file. Today, you rested. And that’s not nothing. That’s everything.
