I watch couples walk by and wonder what invisible contract binds them so tightly. Is it love? Fear? Habit? Or just the illusion that two people together are somehow less lonely? The truth is, intimacy is messy, and most people hide the parts that make it so.

I’ve realized loneliness isn’t always sad—it’s honest. It’s a chance to confront who you are when no one else is around to approve it. And yet, we treat it like a curse, scrambling for company just to fill the quiet. Why is solitude seen as failure, when it’s actually freedom in disguise? ✨

Some nights I imagine two people connecting purely on understanding, without pretenses or distractions. But most nights, I just let the quiet wash over me, learning the subtle rhythm of my own thoughts.

Do you think people fear being alone, or do they fear meeting themselves in the silence? 🌌
