the early mornings stuck

2026 · 08

Last summer I fell into a run of early mornings by accident. Woke before the alarm a few days running, had my coffee at the window while the flat was quiet, liked it. I wrote at the time that I didn't expect it to last.

It more or less stuck. Not every day, and I've stopped minding the ones I miss. Most mornings I'm up a bit before I need to be, coffee, nothing asked of me yet.

The trick was never calling it a resolution. Name a thing I want to keep doing and I stop doing it — that's just how it works in this flat. This one got in under the radar.
