Dear Aida,

There is a subtle mistake many people make about life:
they think it is something to figure out,
a puzzle with a correct answer,
a destination they should eventually reach if they choose correctly.

But life is not a problem to be solved.
It is a process.
A movement.
A slow shaping of the self across time.

You are not here to “find yourself.”
You are here to become yourself.

And becoming is not a moment —
it is a philosophy,
a way of moving through the world with openness, curiosity, humility, and courage.

Becoming is the art of living forward.
