For teen girls

You are not too much. The world just got loud.

School, screens, friend drama, the body changing under you, the future people keep asking about — that's a lot of weight at once. This is a softer room.

A truth, slowly

You are not too sensitive. You are paying attention in a world that asks you to look away.

Small reliefs for right now

Pick one. That's enough.

Not forever. Twenty minutes. Put it face-down in a drawer. Notice how your shoulders drop after about 8 minutes. That's your nervous system unclenching.

People who actually listen

If today is heavier than usual, you can put it down here.
