The world remains unchanged—yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It is only perception that shapes experience. Events unfold, people come and go, yet in the end, one question remains: Who does one choose to be? That question has been asked so often that its meaning has started to blur. But perhaps the answer does not lie in words. It reveals itself through actions—to those who truly pay attention. Others will only see what they expect, never looking beyond the surface. Labels have been given over time, the most common being "weird." Once, it felt like something to resist, but now, it has become something to value, regardless of how the world tries to define it. Only a few voices matter—at most, a handful. And though it may seem selfish, personal perception is one of them. Another belongs to someone whose path may one day align, where understanding could go beyond assumptions, if the moment ever comes. Overthinking has become unnecessary. The path forward is not rigid but remains true to itself. The destination is uncertain, but the direction is clear. There is no need to conform to outdated expectations or seek approval from those who do not understand. For too long, there was a belief that parts of oneself had to be hidden. Given the chance, that restraint was once abandoned too quickly. Now, the understanding is different: authenticity is possible, but some journeys must be taken alone. Not out of doubt, but out of purpose. Trust, once broken, leads to questioning. But in its absence, there is no need to overthink. Words, when spoken with sincerity, are followed not out of obligation, but because they hold wisdom. Every person is more than the advice they give, but without knowing how to offer the support they need in return, the best course is to grow from their influence and separate truth from misattributed blame. Perfection is not claimed, nor is it expected. Life unfolds in ways that cannot always be predicted. Clarity comes not from constant motion, but from quiet moments of reflection. Sometimes, stillness is necessary to truly hear what fate and destiny may be saying. Even small accomplishments, achieved alone, hold meaning. Progress is not measured against others but by personal milestones reached. Though paths may diverge, distance does not always mean absence. Without the intent to overwhelm or impose, this is simply a quiet reminder: no one is truly alone. Many offer guidance they themselves struggle to follow. Yet even so, their influence can inspire movement toward something greater. If words are not enough, then let actions be the only statement that matters. Random addition, while writing prior: It seems this is not the first time. So, there is no need to chase answers—only to wait and see in which life our paths align, if they are meant to. Whether it is destined or not remains unknown, but there is no need to wait. The soul and heart have already found their place. It is not required for you to stay, nor will there be waiting. Yet, after meeting you, my heart and soul no longer belong to me. Take care of them or do as you will—they are yours, to cherish or to discard as you please. Be happy, be free, be yourself that's all there is to it.
