I ran away for so long from the noise of the days,
from the voices that teach me how to be,
and from paths that never felt like my own.
Until I decided to sit with myself,
face to face,
without fear,
and without masks.
Then I found that my heart is deeper than I thought,
and that my tranquility is not weakness,
but a small homeland
to which I return when the storms rage.
I learned that peace doesn't come from outside,
nor from those who pat me on the shoulder,
but from that moment
when I embrace my soul
and say to it:
"I am here... and I will never leave you alone again."
And since that day,
I have become lighter,
clearer,
and closer to myself...
as if I have finally
found the path I was searching for.
