“Survival is not noise — it’s presence.”

To stay in life is to stand in light, even when the world turns dark.

There are days when the world feels far away —

when silence hums louder than any voice,

and we wonder if we still belong to the rhythm of things.

But staying in life isn’t about noise,

or constant movement,

or proving you can keep up.

It’s about noticing.

The warmth of a cup in your hands,

a soft light across the room,

the sound of your own breath

returning to itself.

To stay in life is to keep your eyes open

even when they fill with tears,

to let the small moments remind you

that you are still here —

that you are still becoming.

Because every pause, every ache, every breath

is still part of the dance.
