Story Flows Like Water
Story Flows Like Water
Life without movement
is like water that cannot flow.
Water needs movement — otherwise, it becomes mud.
The story you tell yourself is fluid.
How you perceive yourself can be changed.
I’ve had many social breakthroughs.
I used to think I wasn’t interesting.
Then I made a choice to see myself differently.
What made it last?
Feeling lighter felt a thousand times better
than feeling depressed.
My Old Story
I used to believe I was a boy
who should commit to others and live for them.
Sacrifice his life in service,
without living through something meaningful.
I believed I was broken.
That my best days were gone.
That my fight was over.
I was frozen.
I didn’t want to connect with this part of myself.
I shut down after the last girl.
I lost all hope for love — and it went on like that.
There was nearly no life in me.
I was afraid of myself —
afraid of what might happen
if I lost myself again.
I lost my will.
My love.
My devotion.
I started living a lie.
Disconnected.
I wasn’t feeling well.
I tried to do something.
But I didn’t believe in it
That was my story.
A New Way to Tell It
I’ve come to understand:
I’m a social person.
I want meaningful conversations.
For a long time, I only tried that in the coffee shop world.
But now I see —
I can connect with people anywhere.
Wherever I go.
With whoever I meet.
Why Would You Read What I Wrote?
Because I’m making a performance —
and art from being a barista.
I’ll show you what happiness looks like
when it’s shared in simple moments.
I made it a job that became my hobby.
I used to feel shame expressing myself in public.
Like I was just seeking attention.
Maybe I was.
But maybe I just needed to be seen.
I’ve served thousands of people.
And I’ve learned from them all.
I will show you life
through my lenses.
On Bravery
Bravery doesn’t come before the jump.
It comes after.
If I’m standing at the edge of a waterfall,
I’ll be scared.
Until I jump.
After the jump,
there’s no turning back.
And fear becomes less
every time I leap.
So I invite you to jump with me.
This is my self-discovery journey.
Let’s see where the water flows.
