I’m not loud, but I’m steady. I’ve learned that not every moment needs a reaction and not every thought needs to be spoken. I take my time. I listen. I notice the details most people pass by, and I’m comfortable letting things unfold before I decide where I stand. My colors are layered the way life is, some days clear, some complicated, all of them part of who I’ve become. I don’t try to take over a space. I simply hold it.
