I don’t really have the energy for people most days, and I’ve stopped pretending I do just to fit into some version of life that never felt like mine anyway, because home with you is where everything feels simple and honest and unforced, where I don’t have to explain myself or perform small talk just to fill silence, and maybe it looks like I’m choosing isolation, but really I’m just choosing the one place where my nervous system finally settles and I feel understood without saying a word, even if that means the outside world feels a little further away than it used to 🐶
