A Failure in Distress

Someone pointed out that I always watch the room instead of joining the conversation, and it put a sharp, painful focus on a habit I’ve ignored for years. Because what looks like observation also feels like permanent exile. It means I am always standing on the periphery, looking through the glass at a warmth I don't quite know how to mimic. It means I've become an expert on everyone else's feelings while remaining a total stranger to my own joy. And maybe that's the silent cost of being the chronic listener—you spend so much time holding space for other people's narratives that you completely run out of words for your own. You become a ghost in your own life, present enough to witness everything but never solid enough to be touched. And in that moment, I realized that safety had been my goal, but it had also become my cage.

I’ve experienced an epiphany about how much I know about this world three times.

The first was when I was 5 years old, when I started to realize that the world I lived in was much bigger than I thought, all because of reading an almanac.

The second was in high school, when I realized how vast human knowledge is, yet how little we still understand about the world.

The third was in college, when I realized that the world of my childhood felt better than the adult world. Sure, I can have adult money, but the pressure, responsibilities, and all the things I have to do or leave behind just to live can feel insane.
