Sooner or later, the truth hits you
May 17, 2026 I didn't sleep well again last night. I woke up around five in the morning, just before sunrise. The room is chilly, the window is cracked open a bit, and it smells like wet earth and the oncoming day. In moments like this, when the whole world is still asleep, it gets too quiet. Around me and inside me. The chaotic rush of the daytime - the one we hide in so easily - is gone, and you’re left completely alone with yourself. Stripped bare. I stare into the dark and think about what fools we can be sometimes. For years, we can live inside these made-up, comfortable worlds. We decorate our wounds with beautiful words, calling the fear of loneliness "a great love," toxic attachment "destiny," and total isolation "a spiritual quest." It’s amazing how long a person can remain faithful to their own naivety. And it’s not because we are stupid or don’t understand what’s happening. We just desperately want there to be hope. Naivety is exactly that...
