Permission

Most things don’t change us. They just happen.

A crisis. A failure. A sentence in a blog post.

We notice it. We nod. We move on.

Change isn’t automatic. It requires a decision.

Nothing crosses the line unless you let it.

And once it does, something else can’t stay.

You can live through years of experience and stay the same. Or you can let a single sentence, moment, or failure reorder how you move through the world.

That choice is quiet. No one sees it.

But without it, nothing changes.
