Hours: 24 hours a day

Sunday morning. Everything's pretty quiet, actually.

Apparently, only the mind has been open for quite some time now—regardless of weekends, holidays, or other reasonable operating hours.

A short piece about being constantly open inside, mental side branches, and the hope that tea might actually be something like the end of the workday after all.

Mental health doesn't just begin when things fall apart

Today, I actually wanted to “make the most of my day off.” A sauna, going out, some spa time. And then I realized: Actually, what I need right now is something completely different—some time to myself, peace and quiet, and no more obligations. Maybe mental health starts right there: when we start listening to ourselves again.

Blue Mind – What Water Does for Me

I’ve known for a long time that water has a special effect on me. What I didn’t know was that there’s actually a name for this feeling of calm, vastness, and heightened awareness—Blue Mind. Maybe that explains why I’m always drawn to the water, especially when life is particularly hectic.

What do we actually remember? ❤️🍫

The perfectly tidy kitchen?

The fact that everything went smoothly?

Or that afternoon we spent together, with chocolate on our fingers, colorful sprinkles on the table, and two children proudly admiring the cake they’d decorated themselves?

I think we rarely remember perfection.

We remember feelings.

To sharing a laugh.

Small rituals.

Moments when we were just together.

Maybe sometimes we spend far too much energy trying to do everything right.

Yet the most valuable things often arise precisely where life isn't perfect.

Between chocolate, colorful sprinkles, and a little bit of chaos.

That's why, when I look at this cake today, I see more than just a cake.

I see us spending time together.

I see closeness.

I see memories that we are creating right now.

And I hope that the kids won't remember later whether the kitchen was tidy.

But rather on how we laughed, baked, and celebrated life together.

Because that's exactly what remains.

❤️

So here's my question for you:

What little moments do you think you'll really remember in a few years?

Perhaps it is precisely those that seem completely unremarkable today.
