In the far reaches of the desert, where ambition is a luxury and survival a daily art, there exists a cactus. Not the tallest. Not the most symmetrical. But undeniably content.

It does not reach for the sky. It does not bloom with theatrical flair. It simply exists—plump, sun-warmed, and quietly thriving.

Around it, others stretch, twist, compete for light. But this one remains grounded. Modest. Unbothered.

It has learned, through seasons of drought and sudden downpour, that expectation is a fickle companion.

And so, it asks for little. A patch of soil. A sip of water. The occasional breeze.

In return, it is rarely disappointed.

There is a kind of wisdom here. A lesson not in resignation, but in restraint.

To be satisfied—not because the world is generous, but because you’ve stopped asking it to be.”
