Perhaps it is finally recognising what was never mine to carry. I used to think that if I explained myself clearly enough, tried hard enough, stayed kind enough, waited long enough or found exactly the right words, I might be able to change what happened next. I could help someone understand. Help them see my intentions. Help them respond differently. Help them stay. Help them choose differently. Help them think differently about me.

It seems the opposite has happened. The more I know, the more I realise how much I don't know. And lately, that realisation has become a little more uncomfortable. Because sometimes learning something new doesn't simply add another piece to what I already know. Sometimes it changes the whole picture. The pieces that fitted yesterday suddenly don't.

A feeling of excitement about a new opportunity. A sense that something feels different, even before we can explain why. These experiences are not random.

Not disappears entirely but fades just enough for something deeper to surface. A question, often uninvited, but persistent in its presence: Why am I here? It rarely arrives with urgency. More often, it drifts in during the in-between. A quiet drive. The space after a conversation. The stillness before sleep. And when it does, it tends to bring others with it.

It is bold. Visible. Defined by moments that stand out. It often arrives in stories through grand gestures and clear turning points. But most of life does not unfold that  way.

It gives shape to uncertainty. It creates a sense of direction. It reassures us that we know what we are doing. Life has a way of gently, and sometimes abruptly, reminding us that even the most carefully considered plans are not immune to change. And that is where plan B enters the conversation.

They listen. They notice. They absorb. Conversations, emotions, atmospheres, all taken in with quiet precision. And yet, from the outside, very little appears to move. They feel deeply but act lightly. And for those around them, it can feel like only half the story is visible. But nothing about them is shallow. Their silence is not empty. It is full.

Not because time has changed, but because we have learned to monetise every twist and turn of human experience. We find ourselves in an era where chaos is no longer just a symptom of life’s unpredictability. It has become a prized product, packaged, curated and sold back to us in ever more seductive forms.

To see the world differently is to live slightly out of step with it. What feels like clarity to them can appear as disruption, naivety, or even danger to others.
