Who am I, really? This question, as simple as it may seem, holds an infinite number of answers. Knowing yourself is not just about listing your likes, strengths, or weaknesses. Nor is it about defining an identity that remains fixed forever. Knowing yourself is about accepting that you are a work in constant evolution, a subtle blend of who you were, who you are, and who you choose to become. Self-knowledge begins where the illusion of already understanding yourself ends. It is born in doubt, in exploration, in those moments when we realize that we may have been mistaken about who we thought we were. It grows through experiences, successes, failures—but above all, through the way we choose to interpret…

Every day, we make choices. Some are small, almost invisible. Others carve deep lines within us, shaping our future in irreversible ways. There are the decisions we make, and those made for us. But in all cases, they shape us. When we make a decision for ourselves, we assert our identity.

When we accept that love is a commitment rather than just an emotion, we move beyond the fear of boredom, conflict, or disagreement—because the foundation of the relationship is built on…

Such absolute commitment may feel destabilizing, yet it opens the door to a kind of sincerity and authenticity rarely attained when an exit route remains within reach. The absence of a departure option forces each partner to recognize the nature of a consensual power exchange: in a relationship where you do not keep the possibility of leaving on the table, every decision, every word, every…
