Today, My Head Hustled and My Heart Rested

Daily writing prompt
Was today typical?

If I’m being honest, to say whether today was “typical,” I’d have to rewind through the past few days, weeks, even months to really compare. But just looking at it next to yesterday—yeah, in some ways, it was.

Same routine: work, home, a bit of social media, a call or two to my close friend or my brother, then sleep. Business as usual.

But compared to last week? Definitely not typical. Around this time last week, I was stressing over a project, chasing connections, and hearing a whole lot of “no.” It was frustrating, honestly. Today felt different. I wasn’t obsessing over the same issue—I actually felt calmer.

I think it’s because I realized I can’t control everything. I’ve let go of the pressure and handed the rest over to God. Like, I’ve officially resigned from trying to muscle through it with sheer willpower. And somehow, that surrender is bringing me peace.

I’m just here praising—not because I’ve got it all sorted, but because I’ve stopped trying to control it all. I’ve let God carry the stress. That’s where my heart is at.

Now, my head? Still running full speed. And my ass is working just as hard as it was yesterday. Some things haven’t changed.
