Most of our lives revolve around quiet proof. Proof that we’re capable. Useful. Smart enough. Worth listening to. It starts early—grades at school, exams, approval—and follows us into adulthood, where achievements replace report cards and validation becomes more subtle. Most of the time, this need to prove ourselves is harmless. Sometimes it even pushes progress…
Every now and then, a strange thought slips in uninvited. What if you weren’t really gone… and no one noticed? Most of us shake it off almost immediately.
