What is sort of better?
Me, after microwaving my coffee for the third time: this. This is sort of better.
But sometimes questions like this tell us more than we expect.
Sort of better is its own category. It’s not great, but it’s no longer a disaster. It’s the “I’m still tired, but at least I slept” version of progress. It’s the “we’re not yelling, we’re just sighing heavily” part of a relationship. It’s getting to the point where things are just functional enough to pretend we’re okay.
And sometimes… that’s enough. That’s healing. That’s trying. That’s human.
