Prompt: "Perpendicular" [SPEECH]

A perpendicular line doesn’t argue with the road. It simply leaves it. You can spend years moving in the direction everyone expects, calling that momentum. Then one ordinary morning, you notice the small road beside you. The one that asks for a different kind of courage. Turning isn’t failure. It’s a choice made with your eyes open. You take one step across the familiar line, and the world does not end. It widens. Sometimes the bravest way forward is sideways.
