Just a big softie
Short workweeks are great, but they don’t typically see an equal shift in workload. Despite the reduced number of work days, short weeks often bring heightened stress to get five days’ worth of work done in fewer. Pair this with the ever-present holiday rush that envelops every aspect of your day-to-day, and short weeks can feel never-ending.
Hopefully, you have the flexibility and comfort to communicate when there’s too much stacked on. Regardless, please be sure to take time for yourself during this time of year. It can get overwhelming quickly, so meet that stress with softness and empathy.
🌑 Encounter — The Echoing Hollow
You enter a cavern shaped by time and dripping stone, wide enough that your footsteps vanish into distant echoes. Pale mushrooms glow along the walls, casting moving shadows that seem to stretch and breathe. In the center lies a shallow pool of still, glassy water. When you look into it, the reflection looking back isn’t quite your own — it moves a heartbeat before you do.
