In the midst of all the confusion and chaos that surrounds us, it's only natural to seek something or someone to follow—a guiding light in the darkness. Whether it's a leader, a belief system, or a set of principles, having something to cling to can offer a sense of security and purpose. It's understandable; we all crave stability in a world that often feels unstable. But for many of us, the grounds we come from are so broken, the confusion so deep, that following may not be the answer. Instead, perhaps it’s better to forge our own path, to create our own light in the darkness. In doing so, we can shape a future that reflects our own truth, rather than simply inheriting the truths of others.
