On a ticklish winter night, small records that restore my broken rhythm.
It's a chilly, wintery night, and the still air sinks deep into my room. I look at the clock and see it's already 10:27. At this late hour, when everyone else is drifting off into dreaminess, I can't sleep because of a nagging itchiness. Perhaps it's the dryness, but my skin is so sensitive that I find myself unconsciously scratching my arms and legs. It's a feeling of sadness. Perhaps it's because my skin is so sensitive at night, and seeing my reddened skin feels like it's hurting my heart. On days like these, when my body and mind are particularly sensitive, I tend to focus on fundamental solutions rather than fancy cosmetics. I've realized that what shows on the outside is ultimately a signal from within. That's why my most diligent home care routine these days is to care for both the inside and outside of my body. When applying thick creams isn't enough, I try to calm my body's rapidly surging imbalances by using Cutslin Anti-Spike. I never forget this routine, because it feels like a process of smoothing out the rough edges of my emotions. Turning on a warm light in the quiet darkness and taking care of my body makes even the cold winter night feel a little more cozy. This time of reestablishing my lost balance and returning to a state of peace is the home care moment I feel most attached to. If you're having a frustrating night because of an unintentional scratch, I encourage you to take a moment to stop and take care of yourself.
