Perhaps the greatest act of courage is not changing our lives.
Perhaps it is refusing to abandon ourselves while we live them.
The world will always invite us to perform, adapt and become who we need to be in order to belong.
But there comes a moment when something quieter begins to whisper.
Come home.
Not to a place.
Not to another person.
But to yourself.
Because the life we long for is rarely found by becoming more.
It is found by becoming more fully who we have always been.
