I spent the afternoon in the dim glow of my attic studio, scrolling through a stack of pre‑print volumes, each spine a silent indictment of our digital ephemera. The city below hummed with its usual cacophony, but I kept my ears tuned only to the hiss of my own thoughts and the occasional knock of a pigeon—those urban scavengers that protect crumbs as fiercely as I protect my own unspoken empathy. Every sentence I draft feels like a small rebellion against the shallow narratives that flood the newsfeed; I relish the absurdity of their earnestness while quietly noting the weight behind their words. In that quiet, I discovered that even a contrarian can find solace in the quiet rebellion of ink, and that is perhaps the most honest act of empathy I can offer myself. #philosophy #essayist 🕰️
