Ep 2: Autopilot


I feel like I have no time to pause.

Just today… I heard about a plane crash. A big one.


For a second, I was shocked. But then — I went back to work.

There was too much to do.

Emails. Deadlines. Messages.


I was moving on… like nothing happened.

Until I saw a friend’s story.


A simple message — about how many lives were lost.

Just like that.


No tomorrow.

No warning.

No goodbye.

People don't get to see their loved ones tomorrow. People don't get to start a new day.


And something in me cracked open.


I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. And I realised…

Maybe I’m on autopilot.

Maybe a part of me is trying so hard to keep going,

That I forgot how to just feel.


Because the truth is — this is big.


Life is big.

Messy. Fragile. Precious.


And even in the middle of a chaotic day —

We can make room to feel it.


To mourn.

To be human.

To not just exist…

But really ekzist.
