the panic of being asked a simple question like 'what do you want for dinner?' and feeling your mind go completely blank because you have no internal compass left

You Do Not Need to Decide

The question lands like a stone: 'What do you want?' And your mind goes blank. Not because you don't have preferences, but because the compass you used to navigate has shattered.

You are standing in the first light, paralyzed by the freedom to choose. The sun is rising anyway, painting the sky in colors you didn't ask for but cannot hide from.

You do not need to manufacture a desire to match the morning. The light is already here, filling the room before you speak a single word.

You are not required to know the answer to be held by the day. The dawn does not wait for your decision to break.
