One more thing
Anything else you want to add? Complaints, cravings, dramatic monologues — all accepted.
Analyzing your answers...
🙌
Results are in.
Look — whatever you answered up there, the diagnosis is the same: you're recovering. Maybe slow. Maybe annoying. But you're getting there.

Your throat isn't going to be like this forever. One morning you'll wake up and swallow without thinking about it. And then you'll yell at me and everything will be back to normal.

Until then: rest, soup, meds, repeat. That's it. That's the prescription. No arguing.
Oh wait hold on.
I just checked my calendar...
What's today's date?
March 8th.
March 8th...?
OH WAIT —
HAPPY
WOMEN'S DAY
you didn't see this coming, did you?

SALMA
happy women's day
I tricked you with a throat check-in. You answered every question like the good patient you are. You probably thought this was just me being annoying and checking on you again.

And it was. But also — it was a trap.

Because today isn't just any day. Today is YOUR day. And every woman's day. But mostly yours because I'm biased and I don't care.

You are — and I mean this with zero sarcasm for once — the sweetest woman that ever lived. Even with a sore throat. Even when you can barely whisper. Even when you're wrapped in a blanket looking like a sad burrito. Even when you threaten me with those tiny little hands.

You carry so much with so little complaint. You show up for people even when your body is telling you to stop. You care louder than most people love.

So today? You don't need to do anything. You don't need to reply. You don't need to talk. You just need to know:
You are enough. More than enough.
You are the standard, Salma.
And that sore throat doesn't change a single thing about that.
