Consent

At some point you get tired of looking for answers in loud things, everything you needed suddenly comes in silence. And then a small but precise detail appears. Like a small fish in the ocean of everything you've experienced. It doesn't matter to the world, but to you, it's absolutely everything.

And you come to understand that the meaning is not in the truth, but in the moment when everything freezes. Where you don't need to be better or someone else. Where even pain becomes a simple confirmation that you're alive. And your gaze... You're not looking at a fragile fish, but as if at a reflection of yourself, at a quiet agreement that your soul suddenly uttered.

Growth and development are not always the path to something grandiose, sometimes it's the ability to notice and appreciate each of your small agreements, on the path where you learn to be yourself and just live without looking back and haste.
