The self is not a destination; it’s a lifelong draft, a slow burn, a soft becoming.

But maybe the point isn’t to choose the perfect life. Maybe the magic lies in choosing a life—your life, and walking it fully. Because when you do, even the smallest step begins to feel sacred. Not because it was the best possible choice, but because it was yours

We spend so much of our lives chasing a polished version of ourselves — as if one day we’ll wake up with a name that fits perfectly, a purpose that clicks into place, a life that finally makes sense. But the self is never meant to be a finished sculpture. It‘s more like a river — shifting, expanding, carving new paths in quiet persistence.

We can be anything, but choosing one thing means grieving the thousands we didn’t.
