Joy cuts the burdens.
欣奏累遣
Xīn zòu lèi qiǎn
Радість розсіює тягарі
First day of the month.
A full moon tonight.
The days are heavy.
Everyone carries a reason for sadness.
And still—
joy is a decision.
Not an escape,
but a way of staying alive
inside what is difficult.
An invitation
to notice joy in the mundane—
in small gestures,
in what surrounds us,
in what is still here.
My first diary entry of this month
is a phrase
I learned to write
with my beloved calligraphy teacher
🌕🖋️
