The straight line is often viewed as a symbol of simplicity and clarity. It is something that we seek out, and yet, life rarely follows such a linear route. While the straight line may represent our ideal—efficiency, focus, and straightforwardness—our journey is often filled with twists, turns, and unexpected detours. The straight line is important because it provides us direction and a vision for where we want to go. But often, it’s the lessons we learn off that line, in the moments of struggle and uncertainty, that truly shape us. Life doesn’t always offer a direct path, but when we can identify our straight line, it helps us maintain focus, make deliberate decisions, and keep moving forward with purpose. It’s not about following the straight line perfectly; it’s about using it as a guide while staying adaptable and open to the opportunities that may arise outside of it.
