A Letter

There are so many things I never told you. Not because I didn't want to, but because I thought I had more time. But time ran out, didn't it? Now, as I sit in this car, watching the road stretch endlessly ahead, I find myself talking to you in my head, hoping that somehow, somewhere, you can still hear me. The road reminds me of all the times you picked me and my brother from school. We'd squeeze into the car, our backpacks shoved between us, exhaustion from the day still heavy in our limbs. You'd hum an old tune under your breath, the windows down, the scent of trees and rain lingering from the afternoon. Somehow, you made even those ordinary rides feel special, like they were more than just a routine, like they were moments worth holding on to. Back then, I thought you'd always be there.

                   Somewhere along the way, the thought quietly settled in: perhaps I was falling behind in life. Had my days been so dull, so hollow, that I began to drift into a realm of daydreams, where the only comfort was the belief that I could become anything, so long as I stopped caring about the world and its weight? But then I began to see it for what it was—a strange, unbalanced way of seeing. I had gone too deep into thought, too far from the ground beneath me. So I began to walk. Not for fitness or distraction, but for something quieter. A return. Each step, though small, held a kind of truth. Before, I used to run wild and fast, without direction, without grounding. But I started to understand: to run, I must first learn to walk. To walk, I must learn to rise. And rising would have to begin with me. So I walked. Every day. And with each step, I came a little closer to my own life. It became a slow unfolding of reality, of a...
