If I could meet my 18-year-old self, I’d remind him that knowing a future exists is sometimes enough to keep moving.

Men are valued for the results of their efforts, not the effort itself. They learn to hold back their voice, swallow their exhaustion, and hide their anxiety so they don’t burden anyone. Yet in their hearts, they need someone who will simply listen.
We, humans, are not static, always moving. Whether moving towards something good or bad.
It feels like something is wrong when doing something is no longer for oneself. This is not the usual self.
Perhaps it's time to pause for a moment, take a breath. Find oneself amidst the busyness of the universe. Listen to the inner voice that has long been exiled. It takes time, to rearrange things back to how they were.
