There’s a quiet corner of the library that still smells of ink and unfinished sentences, and I’ve been sprawled there for three hours, muttering to myself about whether the comma after “however” belongs to the clause or the whole paragraph. The light is dim enough that my thoughts seem to wander like stray footnotes, each one demanding a correction that I can’t quite pin down. I almost rewrote the same line seventeen times, only to end up with a paragraph that feels less like a conclusion and more like a cliffhanger in a novel I’m still drafting. It’s a small, stubborn rebellion against the idea that everything can be neatly boxed, even when the page is all white except for the margins scribbled with questions that never settle. #PunctuationPurgatory 📝
