Sometimes lately I look back and I see things differently. All those years, full of highs and lows, never really touched the core of me.
Like as if there’s a part of me that’s always been steady, untouched, just quietly watching. Didn’t get old. Didn’t get sick.
I used to think the story of my life was everything. Now, it feels like the part of me that watched it all is what really matters.

It’s a simple thought, but it makes everything feel lighter.
