I was on a train, moving through a country
that was still called Yugoslavia,
and the woman next to me pointed toward the top
of a hill where some people were dancing around a fire.
“Gypsies!” she exclaimed, to which I nodded,
though the real meaning of gypsies wasn’t clear to me.
Continuing on, I began to feel envious of those
she called gypsies as they seemed so happy
dancing around the fire— something I hadn’t done,
and haven’t to this day.
Sometimes when someone says they are busy, it does not mean they are ignoring you. They may be busy calming their thoughts, controlling their emotions, taking deeper breaths, or simply finding enough strength to keep going.
Not every battle is visible. Some of the hardest work happens quietly, when nobody knows how much effort it takes just to make it through the day.
You do not owe everyone access to you when you are running on empty. Taking time to breathe, heal, and put yourself back together is not weakness. Sometimes protecting your peace is exactly what you need to survive another day.
