I walk this world knowing I am not merely a name or a reflection in glass—I am thought, will, and wonder housed within a vessel of flesh. It is my mind that leads me, my soul that stirs me, and no one else bears the burden of being me. No one else breathes my breath, thinks my thoughts, or wrestles with my truths in the quiet hours. I am not just a being—I am the keeper of a brain, a heart, and a soul. And that sacred fact is not up for negotiation.
