#unexplainedfeelings
I’m not sad at least I don’t think I am but something in me feels… off like a song playing in the wrong key and I can’t find where it changed I sit down not because i’m tired just because standing feels like too much to explain my phone is there my work is there everything i’m supposed to care about is right there but I just stare past it like it belongs to someone else’s life my mind is full I think but when I reach for a thought there’s nothing i can hold so what am I doing? I don’t know and that’s the worst part because if something was wrong at least I could point at it name it fight it but this? this has no face it’s just me sitting existing feeling like I missed a step somewhere and now everything’s slightly out of sync I tell myself to get up “just move just start it’s not that hard” but my body doesn’t listen not because it can’t just because it doesn’t want to and I don’t even know why and that scares me a little not enough to panic just enough to notice like… when did I stop understanding myself? when did everything become something i have to push through instead of something I just do? so I stay there a little too long thinking or trying to or pretending to while time keeps going without asking me if i’m ready and I know i’ll get up eventually I always do but right now I’m just here and somehow that feels heavier than it should
