DISSONANCE

There is a space between what I feel and what I show. Between what I want and what I choose. Between who I am and who the world expects me to be.

In that space, there is noise a quiet, constant conflict. A battle between my heart and my mind, between comfort and change, between holding on and letting go.

I say I’m fine when I’m not. I smile when I feel like breaking. I stay when I want to leave. I dream of something more but settle for something less. The dissonance grows, a melody out of tune, a harmony that never quite resolves.

I wonder, do we all live with this divide? Do we all walk through life pretending the discord isn’t there, hoping that one day the noise will fade? Or do we drown it out with distractions, convincing ourselves that we are content, that the unsettled feeling in our chest is just a passing thought?

But what if the dissonance isn’t meant to be ignored? What if it is calling us toward something greater, something truer? Perhaps the discomfort exists not to trap us, but to push us to seek the notes that finally bring us peace, to rewrite the melody of our lives until it finally feels like our own.

Sometimes we set goals on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. And when we check our progress, we find that our beliefs and values are not aligned. As a result, we are haunted by the feeling that we are wasting our time
