I look into the mirror and I wonder,
does it see me the same way I see myself?
Does it notice all the cracks in me the same way I do?
Do I like what I'm being shown,
or do I like what I see?
Because what I'm being shown
is a version of myself with no cracks—
a version that seems so unobtainable.
But what I see
is a version of myself that, even though far,
feels so close.
So do I like what I see?
Maybe.
Because it gives me hope
that somewhere out there
there's a version of myself that's better than my current self—
a version that's healed from all the wounds,
a version that's achieved all that I've wanted.
So was the mirror lying?
Showing me what is supposedly “unobtainable”?

As humans, we dream
We dream of a world filled with peace.
But how can we get such a world if we keep
fighting each other?
We say we want peace, but then we keep letting greediness take over.
We say we want peace, but then we keep looking down on others.
We say we want peace, but is peace what we truly want?
We say we want peace, but we keep contradicting that with our actions.
We say we want peace, but do we even know what peace is?
People keep confusing avoidance for peace,
thinking that there not being conflict at the time is peace.
But let me tell you what peace is:
True peace involves resolution,
understanding, and healing-
not just silence or stillness.
Peace is presence, not escape.
It is power under control, clarity without
force, and truth without fear.
So I ask you:
How can we claim we want peace,
if we're not willing to become what peace requires?
