Living By Default is the Slowest Way to Get Lost

I didn’t wake up one day lost. I got there by choosing what was easy to explain—over what was true.
By following patterns that felt safe instead of asking if they still fit. By letting others' expectations shape my path more than my own voice.
Living by default isn’t dramatic. It’s quiet. It looks responsible. It sounds logical. But inside, you feel disconnected—and eventually, numb.
When you realize that movement isn’t direction, you start asking new questions. That’s when vision begins to stir again.
