Sezgi 2

Whenever you accelerate, the world calls you back down.
The earth whispers a secret to you where your knees tremble: “Slow down… and remember...”

There are questions whose answers you already know from birth. Where you’re headed, what you will become, when it’s time to let go…

You remember not when you lose your way, but when you return to yourself. Even without a breeze, without a leaf stirring, you feel your direction.

Sometimes you kneel in order to stay standing. Sometimes you stay silent because your own voice feels distant. But with a single breath, a single gaze, a deep sigh, you summon yourself once again.
You break free from the cages woven by words, from the molds labeled “womanhood”—and most of all, from the self you kept searching for in the eyes of others.

The horse within you starts to breathe in that moment.
…the manes fly free from within.
There are no reins, no rush — you move forward.
And even in the dark, your path lights up with each step you take.

Because the horse is not a memory of the past, but a form of trust in the future.
Because you, even when everything is turned upside down, know the direction within you.

To listen to the wind sometimes means more than knowing a language.
And to sense is more profound than to see…

“Don’t stop. Move forward with the power of your own truth…
Remember the wind in your mane…
And never forget:
The horse within you always knows the way.
