Permission to Be Average
The belief that you must be exceptional wasn't vanity, it was survival, a logic formed before you had words for it. Marco sits with the quiet terror underneath perfectionism: that without proof of distinction, you are somehow in danger. A practice in discovering the belonging was never earned, and the alarm can finally switch off.
Grounded and even, the same calm weight on every line, present without pushing, steady when the moment isn't.
