THE STORY WE CARRy
I need a bigger book to write what’s not been written.
I need a bigger mind to hold the weight of memory.
I need a bigger heart to carry everything I still love.
The world doesn’t feel smaller, even when we take up more space. We do not shed our past like an old coat.
Instead, we wear it differently - stitched into new seams, woven beneath new layers.
Our skin stretches, our voices soften, our hands learn to hold more than they let go.
The fabric shifts, the silhouettes sharpen, but we are not made of what we leave behind. We are made of all that remains.
We need a bigger book to hold all that’s been lived.
We need a quieter mind to rest the weight of memory.
We need a softer heart to tell the story we carried.
