Recalculating My brain was scrambling to process it. The rules of the road are a universal language. Yet somehow, they no longer made sense. The longer I looked, the less interested I became in where the signs were pointing and more intrigued by what they were creating together. The signs formed a single arrow, and I found myself at the center of it. From where I stood, the contradiction was impossible to ignore. So what happens when the systems we rely on continue speaking, but no longer provide clarity? Maybe when we stop searching for answers in the instructions, we start finding our own way.
