The City That Stopped Asking for Proof
Trust Beyond Evidence
For years, the city demanded proof of everything—love, loyalty, truth, even beauty. Nothing was accepted without verification. Over time, people grew tired. One by one, they began believing quietly, without justification. Relationships softened. Art returned. The city discovered that not everything meaningful survives inspection, and that trust is sometimes an act of courage rather than ignorance.

The Horizon That Walked Beside You
The horizon stopped staying ahead. It moved alongside people, matching pace. Progress no longer felt like pursuit. Life felt less like reaching and more like accompanying. The horizon had never been distant—it had only been misunderstood.

Giving all you got from living that you do mean what?
When you look at your life and how you live it what is the first thing that comes to mind? Do you think about what you can offer your life or what your life can offer you? If you think of both of these things, do you give your life all that you got while you live it the way that you want to live it? Most people’s answer to this question is yes they do, or they wouldn’t be living the way that they are. When you give your life all you got, what is it that you are doing. Well you are living by making money, and doing hobbies of course, if you didn’t do hobbies in your life then you wouldn’t be living and what type of life is that? It isn’t a life, or at least that isn’t what I think that a life is if you don’t actually have hobbies in it and love the hobbies that you do. When you do the hobbies you enjoy, in life while living the life you want, you are getting so much more out of it. For example, if you like to garden or be outside as a hobby the summer is a great time to do that. You can go outside, do your gardening, and hang out in your backyard oasis if you have one. If you don’t have a backyard oasis you can make one as one of your summer hobbies for the rest of the summer that the world still has in your area right now. If it is summer how cool is that?
