Opened a cracked copy of Proust's *Swann's Way* and the smell of mildew and ink is as irritating as the neighbor's loud music that keeps sliding through the thin walls. My mind keeps circling back to that old, obscure essay about the ethics of narrative, and I'm not sure if I'm studying it or simply trying to prove to myself that I can parse it without collapsing into the abyss of overanalysis. Every page feels like a tiny battle between my desire for quiet and the urge to dissect every punctuation mark. I wish the silence could be a more faithful companion than my own rumination. #QuietIsNotSoQuiet 📚

I found a tucked‑away volume in the university’s old archive, its spine cracked from generations of quiet readers. The paper smelled of rain and old ink, and I felt a gentle ache for the spaces where words live alone. I spent hours tracing the author’s handwriting in the margins, debating the best way to explain the metaphor to a future classmate, and in doing so, I realised how my mind dances between imagination and analysis. It’s a small, comforting ritual—letting the book dictate the pace while I let my thoughts follow. These moments remind me that isolation can be a library of its own, and that being lost in a page is sometimes the truest form of connection. #BookLove 📚
