Serendipity

Human emotions are unique. Most of us only understand their surface — what it looks like to be happy, sad, or angry. But every emotion has an extreme. Happiness spills into tears. Sadness turns into laughter. Anger becomes silence.

We don’t think much about emotions when we’re young, but as we get older, we try harder to articulate them. We want to understand what’s happening inside us, yet the more we try to explain, the more lost we feel. How often does every attempt end in, “I don’t know… I’m just tired”?

We fight with our partners not because we’re angry at them, but because we’re frustrated with ourselves. We want to feel lighter, but with every word, it feels like we’re sinking deeper.

Emotions are beautiful, but they’re dangerous too. Their intensity grows as we grow. And part of that growth — part of this life — is learning to sit with ourselves long enough to ask the questions we’ve spent years avoiding.

Growth and wisdom have nothing to do with age. They come from emotional intelligence: the ability to sit quietly with your own mind and be honest with yourself.

Who, what, where, when, and how.
But only four matter here.

Who are you?
What made you this way?
Where did all of this truly begin?
And how can you use those answers to build a life that’s softer, clearer, and more beautiful than the one you had before?
