When your worldview changes

There are moments...
When the world around you doesn't change,
but you do.

You see things with the same eyes,
But with a new heart...
As if your soul rearranged the chaos within you during your absence.

You suddenly realize
That what you thought was a loss...
Was a hidden path to salvation.

And that the people who left were
Just chapters
That had to end
For the story to be complete.

And you notice that the little things
You never paid attention to—like a fleeting smile,
A gentle morning light,
A sincere word—have become more precious than anything you thought was great.

And when your perspective on the world changes,
You won't search for perfection,
You won't chase after what glitters,
You'll choose what resonates with your heart,
And what allows you to sleep peacefully,
Not with a false sense of victory.

And you discover...
That the greatest gifts
are those that came disguised
as hardship,
and the greatest lessons
are those you didn't understand
until you lost your strength
and discovered your true self.
