I'm a sucker for wise phrases.

3 of my favorite:
Do you wonder why a empty room feels heavier than a crowded one? Perhaps that is because it strips away all the distractions that keep you from facing yourself. In the quiet you can no longer hide behind tasks or screens. You're left with the raw truth that all along you've been filling the void with things that never truly satisfied. maybe that's the lesson. The emptiness you fear is not a curse, but a compass pointing you to what matters beyond consumption, beyond applause. If only you'd stop running long enough to listen, you'd find that stillness was never empty. It was the space where meaning was waiting.

Have you noticed how easily we trade today for a tomorrow we may never see? We say “I’ll start living when…” as if life waits patiently in the corner. But tomorrow is a currency you don’t own, and the illusion of it keeps you blind to the only treasure you truly have: now. Time is the most fragile gift, and yet we treat it like an endless resource. One day, you’ll wake up and realize the future you kept waiting for has become the past you can’t return to. So what would change if you lived as if this breath was your last? Because one day, it will be.

We crave certainty like air, clinging to plans as if they were carved in stone. Yet, life is a shifting tide—one wave, and everything you believed stable becomes fragile. You think security lies in prediction, in controlling every detail, but control is the sweetest lie we tell ourselves. The truth? Tomorrow is a mystery you will never solve. And maybe that’s mercy. Because if we knew the weight of all our tomorrows, we’d collapse under it today. So what do we do instead? We trust. We breathe into the unknown, knowing that what is written will meet us when it must. In that surrender, there’s a strange freedom—a peace that doesn’t come from knowing every step, but from walking with the One who knows the path.
