drift
Drift is like when you’re floating on a pool toy in the water. Sometimes the water moves you slowly without you even noticing. You start in one spot, but after a while, you’re somewhere else! This is because the water is gently pushing you along. Drift is also like when you draw a picture and your hand slowly moves away from where you wanted it to go. You might start drawing a straight line, but your hand drifts, and the line becomes squiggly. It’s a gentle change that happens over time. Imagine you’re on a bike riding down a hill, and the wind is pushing you to the side. You start going straight, but the wind makes you drift a little to the left or right. You’re still on the bike, but you’re not exactly where you planned to be. Drift is about slow, little changes that happen when something pushes or pulls you, even if you don’t feel it right away. It’s like a tiny, invisible hand gently guiding you somewhere else.
