🩸The Art of Standing Still While on Fire

 There’s a specific kind of energy that doesn’t come from joy or sadness—it comes from something deeper. Older. Like the echo of war drums in your blood or the flicker of candlelight in a silent room.

It’s not rage. It’s not peace. It’s the in-between.

That tight-wire feeling of being completely still on the outside, but inside? A storm pacing the cage.

Today was one of those days.

Where your mind marches in perfect rhythm, focused and sharp, but your heart keeps dipping its fingers into shadow. Not to get lost—just to remember that it’s there. That beautiful, necessary ache.

You feel powerful, but not loud.

Dramatic, but not messy.

Like you’re starring in a film only you can see—each movement intentional, each glance full of meaning, every silence crackling with electricity.

There’s elegance in that.

In walking through the world like a ceremony.

In letting the tension build instead of rushing to release it.

It’s the mood where you crave dim light and structure. Where you long for control, not out of fear, but as a form of expression. As if discipline is the highest form of art.

You are not chaotic—but you are charged.

Not sad—but you feel the weight of something grand, just out of reach.

Not angry—but unbending, like a cathedral made of steel.

This mood? It doesn’t ask for comfort.

It asks for reverence.

For quiet strength.

For the patience to let the story unfold at its own pace.

So today, I didn’t rush.

I carried the weight.

I honoured the storm.

And I marched—not toward escape, but deeper into meaning.
