You could say that I am a bit of a skeptic, a bit of a realist, sometimes even a cynic. But deep down inside, I have a place where I always return when the world around me is too loud and chaotic. There, in that small space, I find peace and confidence. It is like an internal anchor that keeps me afloat when everyone around me is trying to carry me away in different directions.

I wonder why so many people confuse faith with something strictly formal? For me, it is not prayers and rituals, but rather a conversation with myself. Without unnecessary words and expectations. This is when you feel that you are not alone, even if there is no one around. I think this is where the power of faith lies — in a simple feeling of support that comes from within.

I don’t always know why I hold on to this corner, but it’s there. And it helps me be real, even when I want to hide behind a mask. When the world demands that I be strong and confident, I just remember this inner world, where you can be anything — weak, tired, and not lose yourself.

At such moments, I wonder — does everyone have such a secluded corner? Or does someone just go with the flow, without asking unnecessary questions? After all, loneliness can be scary, but if you have faith, even in its simplest form, it’s like a light in the darkness.

I don’t know how to explain it exactly, but faith is something that doesn’t require proof. It just is. And as long as this corner lives inside me, I’m not afraid to be myself.

And what about you? Do you have something that you keep only for yourself? Something you don't show to everyone and that makes you stronger?
