You wake early to sunlight seeping through the window,
birds chirping softly outside.
No rush, just peace in this quiet moment,
as you slowly unfurl yourself from the duvet,
taking your time.
Scrambled eggs and coffee sound perfect,
so you make both, just the way you like.
It’s a blue-sky morning, and you take your breakfast outside,
soaking in the calm and warmth. Inside, you feel at peace.
The day ahead is yours to shape as you please—
freedom to see friends, to dive into something you love,
or simply tackle the small tasks of life.
Maybe you’ll wander to the countryside,
or curl up and lose yourself in a good series.
Lunch alone, drinks with friends,
a night of dancing, or one of sweet, simple nothing.
The day ahead is boundless, full of possibility.
You think about who you are now, living this life, in this moment.
Where you are feels so different from where you once thought you’d be,
yet there’s no other place you need to be
but right here, right now, in this moment of calm and joy.
Days like this once felt empty, but now they are full—
overflowing with quiet hope and the peace it brings.
Change brought you here,
not a visible shift, but an inner one,
an internal clarity that makes you whole.
Though the road ahead remains uncertain,
you’re at ease with life’s lack of guarantees,
because today is certain.
Today is yours.
Today, you’re single, radiating a different kind of glow.
