Permission to Be Average

13 min

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, even, steady

Grounded and even, the same calm weight on every line — present without pushing, steady when the moment isn't.
