![How old were you when the weight of the world first settled on your shoulders? Here, in a forgotten village at the hem of the Carpathians, a one-year-old girl—barely more than a wisp of a thing—grasps a shepherd’s crook as if it were an extension of her own limb. She does not toddle aimlessly; she moves with the quiet certainty of someone who has no choice but to understand. Her tiny feet press into the dust of generations, guiding a herd through the fading light, a silhouette against the indifferent vastness of the mountains. There is no room for frivolity here, no indulgence in the soft, coddled delusions of childhood as we know it. The land does not wait for readiness—it demands instinct, an inheritance of the blood. The sheep do not care for age; they follow because she leads, because she must. And so, without words, without hesitation, she becomes what she was born into. The city-dwellers, the ones scrolling mindlessly through a world of bright screens and hollow distractions, would call this unfair. But here, in this place untouched by their pity, life is neither fair nor unfair—it simply is. One day, she may leave. Or she may not. Perhaps she will grow old in this valley, her steps tracing the same furrowed paths as her ancestors. Or perhaps she will slip into the world beyond, where life is measured not in seasons and survival but in paychecks and time wasted. Either way, she carries this with her—the dust in her bones, the knowledge in her hands, the certainty that, once, she belonged to something real. And you—when was the last time you belonged to anything at all?
