Your appreciation of my recent post led me to visit your profile. There I found this reflection, written eleven months ago. What caught my attention was not only the subject itself, but also the silence surrounding it. Many likes, yet no comments, despite your invitation to leave a voice. That silence seemed to ask for a response and eventually led me to leave my footprint here.

I do not judge, perhaps because my own journey has taught me that every authentic bond asks us to become more than we were before. It is not always easy, and many challenges still lie ahead. Sometimes, along the way, we lose ourselves. What truly matters is finding ourselves again.

Yet I also feel a certain admiration for those who choose a different path. Living for many years only with oneself requires a courage I do not know.

In The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, the treasure is never merely the destination; it is the journey that transforms the traveler. My journey has led me toward a lasting bond; theirs may lead them elsewhere. What matters is not whether we walk beside someone or alone, but whether we remain faithful to that part of ourselves that time cannot consume.

I wish you a happy day.
