🌎 A birthday begins a possibility.
A passing leaves a trail.
Sometimes that trail is a song.
Sometimes a character.
Sometimes a scientific measurement.
Sometimes a mountain route.
Sometimes a voice that keeps echoing long after the room has gone quiet.
That is why the dates matter.
Because behind every date...
there was a life.
