And perhaps this is the most profound form of change: no one tells you what to be.
Before anyone else, you tell yourself what not to be.

Everything is in its place—except you.

But some prisons are built on the promise of peace؛with a ceiling that says: Stay here; there is no danger here.

Thought fell silent the moment it turned away from opening up the world and instead set about unlocking doors that the world had already chosen.
