SERAFINA & TATA

There are moments when I can see everything clearly.

I know what is happening inside me.

I recognize the feeling.

I even know that it will pass.

And still… I step into it.

It usually starts quietly.

A small tension.

A thought that rushes in too fast.

A sense that something isn’t working the way I want it to.

I can see it.

I can name it.

And still, I follow it.

Sometimes I wonder why.

If I understand…

why do I repeat?

If I see it…

why do I still go there?

The answer is not as simple as “I should do better.”

Because this isn’t about knowledge.

It’s about something deeper…

something that moves faster than understanding.

There is a part of me that reacts before I can soften it.

A part that wants control.

A part that wants things to work now.

And when they don’t…

it tightens.

For a long time, I thought the goal was to stop this completely.

To be calm.

To be composed.

To never react.

But maybe that’s not where it begins.

Maybe it begins here:

In the moment I notice.

Not before.

Not perfectly.

But right there… inside the reaction.

The first time I notice, it’s late.

The second time… still late.

But something is different.

There is a small space.

A breath.

A quiet awareness that says:

“I’ve been here before.”

And slowly, that space grows.

Not because I force it.

But because I return to it.

Again.

And again.

So maybe growth is not about never repeating.

Maybe it’s about:

• noticing sooner
•  softening a little faster
• staying with myself, even when I don’t get it right

And maybe…

that is enough for now.

This reflection is part of a larger introspective and mythopoetic journey explored through my work.

Explore the ASTREYA Universe

ASTREYA is not a story about becoming someone else.
It is a journey of remembering, staying, and living without leaving yourself behind.

Through a quiet, mythopoetic and introspective approach, each book opens a space where identity is not constructed, but revealed — slowly, honestly, and without force.

This is not a path that explains.
It is a path that is lived.

If something in you recognizes this…
you are already part of it.
