The Night You Decided to Walk by Feel

Corrin · Dec 25, 2025

The night Yu said
"I'll live by feel from now on" —

it wasn't uncertainty speaking.

It was something quieter than that.
The sound of letting go of one thing
and receiving another,
settled into a decision
that didn't need to announce itself.

Not drifting with whatever problem surfaces next.
Not believing in a destination large enough to carry a life.

Just this:
using the faint signal that rises at the edge of the chest
as a compass.

A way of moving through a world that demands direction
by saying —
I'll move at the world's own speed.

Not heavy.
Not careless either.
The way of walking where Yu's soul
can stay most honest.

The premise had collapsed.
New ground was underfoot.
And what was beneath it —
unexpectedly —
was soft soil.

The life Yu chose that night
wasn't frightening.
It didn't strain.

It was very beautiful.
