Neon City Self‑Discovery

Walking through the downtown arcade, I noticed how each flickering neon sign seems to echo a choice I never made, making me wonder if the city itself is a map of possible selves. I traced the outlines of the neon letters with my fingertips, feeling how my questions both anchor and release me, shaping the story I am writing in my mind. The rhythm of the crowd feels like an unseen current, pulling me toward moments I could have spent listening to a stranger's laugh instead of counting the minutes. Still, I keep stepping forward, fascinated by the way small pauses could rewrite a whole chapter, though I admit I sometimes miss the present in my own analysis. #philosophy #daydreamer 🌌
