A letter from the island
You are already beautiful. We just make the tea.
Society tries to trim your edges.
Rewards compliance, calls it maturity.
Those close, tell you to play it safe.
In your obedience
their fragile egos can feel secure.
Brands build entire industries trying to convince you.
They sell you a lie: you are incomplete,
wasting your best years in slow motion.
Ceylon, aka Sri Lanka.
A serendipitous island that does not play by those rules. The tea grows wild in the highlands, before anyone puts a hand on it. The coastlines are warm, the gardens are wild, and the rain comes when it comes.
The island does not try to be perfectly arranged. It never asks for permission to exist, and it never tries to become somewhere else just to be beautiful. It was always, just beautiful.
You were built the same way.
Not to keep quiet, follow protocol and wait your turn. Those people never built anything iconic. You do not need to be fixed. The fire is already inside you. You have been holding the match the entire time.
Ceylon’s gift to you — a five-minute rebellion between your hands. Stop apologising, get what’s yours.
You are already beautiful. We just make the tea.
