I Think I Was Supposed to Get Lost

There are days when I walk without trying to arrive.
When I follow a sound, a color, a corner that turns without permission.

Sometimes I end up at a place with no name.
Sometimes at a stall that sells nothing I can hold.

And sometimes — like today — I find myself sitting under a small awning, holding a bowl of soup I didn’t know I ordered, listening to rain I didn’t expect.

And it feels right.
Not because it was planned. But because it wasn’t.

I used to think being lost meant I’d done something wrong. Now I wonder if some parts of me needed to be found — and this was the only way they could.


If you’ve ever ended up somewhere quiet,
with no direction,
but a heart that feels a little more full…

Maybe you weren’t lost at all.

Maybe you were just… on time.
