Written by Roberto Sanchez
You don’t know where you came from.
You don’t know where you’ll go.
You entered this world without memory.
You’ll leave it with only experiences.
This life — it’s momentary.
A stop. A station.
A breath.
You are an immortal soul in a mortal body.
You were given feeling — not just to survive,
but to choose.
To choose between good and bad.
To choose love.
To feel the love of those who love you.
To be able to say one day,
“I was here.”
You are one of one.
A design.
A soul with no twin.
Being human is confusing.
It’s hard.
It’s sacred.
Labels split people like aisles in a grocery store —
categories, packaging, division.
But we are not labels.
We are the mystery walking.
Flesh and bone powered by a nervous system
that breathes without asking,
that beats without command.
Some will say none of this is real.
That we are random.
That there is no design.
But tell me —
Isn’t it magic to exist?
