What Stayed

—

Some days—I just don’t. And that? That’s enough.

Silence says more. So don’t.

The strongest presence is the one that—Commands, not demands.

Power isn’t in being heard, it’s in knowing when to speak.

What lingers louder than words? Unsaid.

You don’t recognize a cage until the doors to yours open.

If you only live once, then make sure you can look back and say I once lived.

Peace isn’t something you find; it’s something you choose to keep.

I’m not here to fit in, stand out, or make a difference. My purpose? Is unwritten.

Not anymore, said Time.
I gave plenty—
and you took mine.

Live trying—over never trying.

It’s easy to do the hard things when you have a crowd. Don’t lose yourself in the crowd. Choose hard.

If you can’t change something, change your mindset.

If it matters to you, stop trying to make it matter to someone else.

Someday, you will look back and understand why. Every moment led to now.
