There’s a weird thrill in not being tied down, sure, but there’s also a quiet pressure that no one talks about. The kind that whispers in the middle of the night: “Is anyone going to notice you, really?” 🌙

I scroll through my thoughts like I scroll through memories, asking myself why I feel like I have to justify my existence, my choices, even my moods. Why does it feel like happiness has an expiration date when you’re alone? 🤔 And why is it so easy for the world to cheer on someone else’s connection, while I have to remind myself that mine is valid too—even if it’s with just myself?

Sometimes I catch myself imagining scenarios where I’m not the one doing the thinking, the planning, the emotional juggling. 😅 It feels weirdly revolutionary to imagine someone else stepping in, but also terrifying, because I’ve built walls so high around my own heart that maybe no one could ever scale them. And then I ask myself: do I want someone to climb them, or am I secretly enjoying the view from up here? 🏔️

I’ve realized that the silence can be both a friend and a mirror. It shows me what I really want—or maybe just how stubborn I am. And the more I reflect, the more I wonder: is solitude truly about independence, or is it just a test I didn’t ask for, a kind of rehearsal for something I don’t even know will arrive? 🎭

But there’s a strange beauty in that question. Maybe the answer doesn’t matter. Maybe the point is that I’m allowed to question, allowed to feel, allowed to sit here with all the contradictions that make me… me. 💫
