ADJUST THE CROWN

Today, I read a sentence on Instagram that struck me:

“A true queen fixes another’s tilted crown.”

There were two people responsible for bringing each of us into this world.

Some of us were raised by them.

Some by grandmothers, aunts, caregivers, or orphanage workers.

But the undeniable truth?

We are not alone.

We are raised in a collective.

The people around us shape us.

And today, I am not alone either.

Whether I succeed or fail, we are in this together.

Today, I may look stronger than you.But life is not a straight path.

There are steep cliffs, harsh seasons, burning deserts, gentle breezes.

Maybe right now, I feel the breeze on my face…

While you are burning under the desert sun.

Maybe you feel exhausted, weak.

But I know I have no right to leave you behind just because I feel strong today.

Because one day, I will be the one struggling,

And you will be the one raising a glass to joy.

Our timelines don’t always align.

But it is deeply valuable to listen, to understand, to care.

Just as we celebrate joy together,

We must also be the hand that steadies a wobbling scale, the weight that balances an uneven measure, the breath that revives a fading spirit.

Because my growth, success, and happiness alone are not enough.

And your excuses, your resentments, your self-diminishing won’t make you greater either.

We do not walk alone.

If we are a "we" together, then fixing your crown isn’t just a courtesy—it’s my unspoken duty.

We are better together.

We are happier together.

We are stronger together.

So don’t stay stuck in yourself.

Reach out and adjust the nearest crown.

Because that’s how we make the world more beautiful. 👑✨
