They used to tell you to be one thing.

Be logical, or be emotional. Be strong, or be gentle. Be the person you were, or the person you are trying to become.

So you tried. You trimmed yourself into shapes that fit other people’s comfort. You hid the parts that looked too strange, too tender, too alive.

But inside you, the world refused to be edited.

A forest kept growing where your worries lived. Old temples rose where your patience was tested. Small machines kept turning, not to control you, but to keep you moving. And your memories, like fish, began to migrate through the air, teaching you something impossible.

That you can carry water even when you are not underwater. That you can be fluid in a world that demands edges. That love can be a current, not a cage.

You do not force harmony. You allow it.

And somehow, the strange becomes sacred. The mixed becomes whole. The inner world becomes a place you can finally live inside, without apologizing.
