How it all began for me

It began for me when I was nine years old. When I started to see the world around me not as a little bubble but as a place we are allowed to be in. This realisation made me pause, with the understanding that I needed to be more gentle, more kind, and to find a way to love everything around it for what it was, not where I thought it should be. Is this easy? No, of course not. Do I forget to do this? Yes, of course, but I guide myself back on track, dust off, and move on.
