Enlight Botanicals

I told them I was busy.
And I was busy;
but not in a way most people understand.

I was busy taking deeper breaths.
I was busy silencing irrational thoughts.
I was busy calming a racing heart.
I was busy telling myself I am okay.
I was busy taking care of myself and finding my own joy.

Sometimes, this is my busy -
and it matters just as much as any other kind of busy.
