Not only are we what we do; we’re also what we don’t do. What we say and what we silence. We are the questions we don’t dare to ask, and the answers that will never come and will float there forever, blown about by fear and uncertainty. We are the subtlety of a gaze, the intimacy of a soft caress, the curve of an honest smile. We are sweet moments, bitter instances, sorrowful nights. We are details. We are real.
But beyond everything else, we are the decisions we make. In all their dimensions. With every choice, we take a step forward and abandon something along the way. Or we take a step back, and we abandon whatever was to come. We walk among alternatives, choosing some, rejecting others, and in this way marking our destiny. We always lose something, even when we win, but that doesn’t matter. What really matters is being able to make a decision, and to do so freely: to bet on a dream, for ourselves or someone else, never doubting, never afraid, with willpower, with passion.
