## Caption

I was about to decide who they were.
And then I caught myself.

That small pause — the moment between reflex and recognition —
is where change begins.

Inspired by Enigma on HBO and a quiet realization I wrote about this week:
We don’t need to label people in order to care about them.

Some things are more beautiful left undefined.
