If you really think about it, life is just a movie in first-person perspective for everyone.

Everyone is the main character in their own story, navigating through challenges, joy, heartbreak, and discovery.

But how often do we forget this?

How often do we let ourselves play a supporting role in our own narrative?

Imagine yourself walking down the street at sunset, the golden light casting a glow on everything around you.

The soundtrack to your life is playing in your mind — a song that makes you feel alive.

In this moment, you’re not just a passerby.

You’re the star, the one with purpose, with a story unfolding.

But do you live every day like that?

Or do you let yourself fade into the background, overshadowed by others’ opinions, expectations, or successes?

Being the main character doesn’t mean life is perfect.

It means owning your story.

It’s about embracing the fact that your highs and lows are uniquely yours.

Think about the best movies you’ve seen — there’s always a turning point, a moment when the protagonist decides to take control.
