Journey of Curiosity
From my window, I watched a couple fall in love again and then fall apart, again. This is a reflection on addiction, on the quiet way it undoes people, and how we, as outsiders, try to make sense of something we’ll never fully understand. It’s not just about them. It’s also about me, and maybe, in some way, about all of us.
Five years changed everything—friendships, family, work, identity. This isn’t a polished list of life lessons, it’s just me trying to make sense of the quiet chaos. From feeling alone in crowded rooms to questioning what’s real within myself, this is a personal reflection on the parts of life that don’t always get spoken out loud. Not answers—just honest fragments I’m still piecing together.
I once cared for a garden that bloomed with vibrant life. Now it lies barren, a quiet reminder of loss. Yet every sunrise brings hope, whispering that even in emptiness, new beginnings can take root. I tend my garden daily, trusting in the gentle power of renewal, one simple day at a time.
Life doesn’t promise anything…your job, your health, even your relationships. We hope things will work out, but hope can feel fragile, and not everyone is wired for it. Wonder, though, is different. It’s about asking questions, staying curious, and digging deeper…even when the answers aren’t clear. Wonder doesn’t rely on guarantees; it thrives in uncertainty and drives us to explore and grow, making it stronger and more real than hope.
To anyone feeling like they’re falling behind: you’re not alone. Watching others move forward can be overwhelming, but maybe your journey isn’t meant to follow theirs. Life isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about finding meaning in your own way and time. This is a reminder that your path, with all its twists and turns, is uniquely yours, and one day, it will feel worth it.
