A life that holds room for joy without guilt, and for meaning without noise. I want to build something that lasts, not necessarily in scale or visibility, but in its ability to hold people, to hold me. That is the longing.

I was walking by the beach when I stumbled on a beautifully built castle.
It was magnificent, so alluring that I could not look away.
Its charm wrapped around my heart, and for a moment, I lived in it.
Then the waters came rushing in.
