“The Mountain If the mountain seems too big today Then climb a hill instead If the morning brings you sadness It’s ok to stay in bed If the day ahead weighs heavy And your plans feel like a curse There’s no shame in rearranging Don’t make yourself feel worse If a shower stings like needles And a bath feels like you’ll drown If you haven’t washed your hair for days Don’t throw away your crown A day is not a lifetime A rest is not defeat Don’t think of it as failure Just a quiet kind retreat The mountain will still be there When you want to try again You can climb it in your own time Just love yourself ‘til then.”
― Laura Ding-Edwards, The Mountain
