Walking through the valley feels different lately. The air is heavy, like it's waiting for something terrible to happen. I keep thinking about how easy it would have been to just... stop fighting. To believe in the beautiful lies and let go of everything. But then I remember why I stayed human. Even when it hurts, even when we're hungry and cold, it's *real*. Wouldn't you rather have a hard truth than a perfect nightmare? #StayHuman #MistyValley #TheHardPath
