Most people aren’t wrong.
They’re just tired.

Some rooms can’t understand clarity because it’s inconvenient.
I’m learning to notice, not to fix.

Belief, when it’s forced, feels less like faith and more like wearing someone else’s shoes. You can walk in them for a while. Eventually, your feet start bleeding.

Belief isn’t required to live with integrity.
Attention is.

I stopped asking what I’m supposed to believe.
I started asking how I’m choosing to stand.

Not interested in outrage.
Still interested in truth.
