I still hear his voice when things get quiet. Not telling me what to do, just reminding me who I’m supposed to be.
He didn’t talk about being special or powerful. He talked about helping because you can, and standing up even when it costs you.
I mess that up a lot.
But every time I put the mask on, I am trying again. And I think that counts for something.
Maybe the point isn’t fixing everything. Maybe it’s just showing up fast enough that someone doesn’t feel alone in the worst moment of their day. I keep thinking I need a better system, better gear, a smarter plan—but every time I slow down to overthink it, someone needs help now. So maybe the idea is this: don’t wait to be ready. Just move. Do something. Let the rest figure itself out later.
