I keep trying to secure everything around me as if permanence is possible
A stable place, a stable role, a stable identity
But somewhere deep down I know it is all temporary
We build walls thinking they will protect us forever
We accumulate things thinking they will stay with us
We hold on to positions as if they define us
But one day is enough to change everything
A single moment can shift direction
A single decision can collapse certainty
A single event can rewrite what we thought was fixed
So what exactly am I trying to secure
Maybe it is not the place that needs securing
Maybe it is the mindset
Because places can disappear
People can change
Systems can fail
But awareness stays
When I stop chasing permanence
I start seeing reality more clearly
Nothing is guaranteed
And strangely, that is not scary
It is freeing
Because if nothing is permanent
Then I am not stuck either
I can rebuild
I can restart
I can redefine
Security then is not about holding on
It is about being ready
Ready to adapt
Ready to move
Ready to let go without losing myself
The world does not promise stability
It only offers movement
And maybe peace comes
Not from controlling that movement
But from understanding it
So I stop trying to freeze moments
I stop trying to secure places
Instead, I focus on strengthening myself
Because if one day is enough to wipe everything out
Then one day is also enough
To begin again
