I muted my phone long ago. No notifications, no pings, no reminders of how everyone else is living their lives while I’m quietly fading into the background. I learned that peace comes when you stop expecting others to reach out.

No one notices the quiet ones, and that’s exactly how I liked it. In the chaos of the world, being unknown was a shield. People think it’s easy to stand out, but I found peace in being unseen. In a room full of noise, i choose to be the quiet one. No one questioned me, no one expected anything from me. It was the perfect disguise.

The library became my safe space. I would slip into a corner, bury myself in a book, and let the world continue around me. No one needed to know I was there. No one asked. No one cared.
