there’s a point where a person stops just being
a name, a story, a role, a label, a past, a trajectory
and starts becoming bigger than their outline
you become something more when
you stop asking “who am i supposed to be?”
and start asking “what is trying to happen through me?”
by existing fully, even when we’re told not to
we start holding the world differently
and find our own solid meaning in it
one that lasts through the darkest of times
