It didn't arrive the way  
you thought it would.

No trumpet.  
No clear sign.  
No moment where the path  
lit up obligingly  
from start to finish.

Just a quiet Tuesday  
where you did the thing  
that felt true,

and then another,  
and then another,  
until one day you looked back  
and saw that all those Tuesdays  
had become something —

not the life you planned.  
Better.

The one that could only have been built  
by someone exactly like you,  
making exactly those choices,  
in exactly that order.

The one that was always yours.  
It was just waiting  
for you to stop looking for it  
somewhere else.
