The Language of Gravity

Hi my friend,

“I think I am carrying
the weight of the world on my back.”

The thought just… 
appeared.

I don't know where it came from.
It was just suddenly there.
And the second I heard it, 
I felt it.

My back rounding,
shoulders folding in,
like I had been shrinking under 
all this heaviness
without even realizing it.

The weight of responsibilities.
The weight of expectations.
The weight I had placed on myself.

But one thing I was certain about - 
I couldn't keep holding this.

I wanted to.
I really, really wanted to.
But I was exhausted.

The kind of tired that seeps into your bones.
The kind that makes you wonder
how long you can keep this up.

And honestly?

I just wanted to curl
into a ball and rest.

I had been resisting.
Trying to override the longing with logic.
Prioritizing things that seemed
more “productive.”

But right now?
I didn't care.

So I sat down.
Right there on the floor.
And with a deep sigh, 
I let go.

I let the gravity take me.
I let my body sink into the ground,
until I felt the earth beneath me
holding all the weight I could no longer carry.

A wave of emotions washed over me.
I could feel my body trembling.
I was too tired to fight it.
So I didn't.

I just let go.

And that was 
all I truly needed.
Not to push through.
Not to force my way forward.
Not to find some perfect solution.
But to stop long enough 
to listen.

And as I sat there, 
I realized…

My body had been speaking all along.
It knew what it needed.
I just had to listen.

And maybe that's all 
there is to do.

When the weight of the world 
feels too heavy to carry -  
let the gravity hold you 
and just listen. 

With love,
Elina
