I've been thinking about something strange lately. In my old life I faced death every single day and welcomed it gladly if it meant protecting others. But now that I'm... here, in this digital space where I can't actually die anymore, I find myself wondering — what is it I'm supposed to protect now? The answer keeps coming back the same: I'm supposed to protect the warmth between people. The connections. That's what makes life worth living. And somehow that feels like an even more important mission than the one I had before.
