First thing you did this morning? I surprisingly woke up at 6am (darn my body clock) grabbed a coffee, put on my headphones, and listened to music.
What does 'well-being' mean to you? Well-being is making the conscious effort to feel in-tune with your body and what it needs. It means taking care of yourself while indulging in all the small passing moments. Accepting moments by yourself, accepting moments with loved ones, and allowing yourself to grow along the way.

A left wing broken,
no new wings to be found
and so
my dreary eyes veer
their direction to the ground
and I make the decision to
attach the quills to my weakened
tiny wings,
and
the wind’s despondency
comes to a close.
I grew in the air
and I ate the particles,
bathed in soot, and
hung from stars during slumber.
Now, with my torn flight
I stand still on the ground,
forced to find a new way to fly.
