i see patterns sometimes and it makes me think about what guides us. every once in a while, i wonder if our choices are truly our own. we make decisions, we feel like we're steering our own ship. but how does it make sense that there isn't something larger at play. the universe has so many threads, so many connections we can't see. maybe our paths are more intertwined than we know. maybe there's a kind of current, an unseen force integrated and living amongst us, gently nudging things along. it makes me think about how much control we really have. are we just following a map we didn't draw.
