Everyone else quit somewhere along the way. I didn't notice as i was too busy still moving. Last Survivor is the identity that doesn't peak and burn out; it just keeps showing up, long after the people who started faster have stopped. Not the loudest version of you, not the one chasing a highlight reel, the one built for the parts nobody applauds: the fifth attempt, the quiet stretch with no progress to show, the version of the plan that had to change twice before it worked. I am not outrunning anyone. I am just still here when the rest of the field isn't. Outlast. Outthink. Outlive. Printed beneath a mountain line that never quite flattens out — because the climb was never supposed to be the hard part. Staying on it was.
