The older I get, the quieter I become.
No longer chasing friendships. I stopped reaching out to people who stopped reaching back years ago. Validation isn't important to me. I already know who I am, and I no longer have time to waste.
There are fewer people and less emotional noise.
Self-reflection has replaced mindless regret. Solitude has become my peace.
Family has become an old photo and a distant memory. Old photos from a life that slipped away are scattered around in my mind while the link to my past continues to fade.
Time, now more rare than gold and more precious than anything I thought mattered before I understood how little I have left.
