For years she had chased the idea of wanting to be enough... strong enough not to fall, sweet enough not to hurt, useful enough to deserve a place in the world. Every day, a small compromise. Every smile, a fragment of herself left behind. And so, without realizing it, she had lost pieces of herself... Pieces she no longer knew where to look for.
One day she asked herself a question: when did I stop listening to myself?
Perhaps when she began living for the eyes of others.
Perhaps when she confused silence with solitude, and solitude with failure.
But that day, on the beach, something had changed. It wasn\'t a revelation, nor an answer. It was a space.
Space to breathe.
Space to feel.
Space to not have to explain anything.
The sea, immense and indifferent, hadn\'t judged her.
The wind, gentle and curious, had caressed her.
Perhaps that was the first step. Not towards a new self, but towards the one that had always lived inside. The one who didn\'t seek perfection, but who just wanted to be herself.
