It's a curious wonder, isn't it, how a single lifetime can hold so many lives within it? One morning, you may wake with fire in your chest, daring the world to test you, your voice loud, your steps bold. And by evening, that same heart may soften, caught in the quiet wonder of a sunset, or the smile of a stranger, or the laughter of someone you love. We are rivers, always flowing, never stagnant; we are shadows and sunlight, fierce winds and gentle rain. With every encounter, every heartbreak, every joy, we peel off one layer and discover another, sometimes familiar, sometimes strange. We are never the person we were yesterday, never quite the person we will be tomorrow, and perhaps in that constant becoming, that restless shifting of selves, lies the tender, fragile beauty of being alive. To be human is to be unfinished, to be a story that writes itself with every breath, always unfolding, always more than we thought we could be, and yet, always enough.
