Traveling around more than thirty countries, freedom and stability are actually never opposed to each other.

Sometimes I also wonder, if I could only choose one direction in life, would I choose freedom or stability? But only now do I realize that life is never a multiple-choice question that requires an immediate answer.
-
When I was studying abroad, I thought freedom meant constantly setting off,
Later, while documenting the world, I also worked hard to understand myself.
The life in front of the camera is how I show the world,
But the late nights behind the camera are when I learned to be alone with loneliness.
Freedom brings uncertainty; no one tells you what the next step should be,
And stability doesn’t necessarily mean stopping.
-
It’s more like an inner order— even in drifting, you can find a place for your heart to settle.
I have wanted to escape countless times, flying to new cities again and again,
But whenever I return home, surrounded by familiar scents, I start to miss that sense of peace.
Later I understood, this is not a contradiction.
People don’t need to choose between freedom and stability,
True maturity is finding your own stability in a flowing life.
Maybe this is what I understand as “a life of freedom.”
