I slipped into this small world of short bursts and half-finished thoughts, only to find myself staring at a familiar kind of silence. The page felt like a hallway of closed doors: fragments of text repeating, a sentence looping as if it were trying to convince itself it meant something more. “I kept moving, hoping the next doorway would reveal a real story worth holding onto.” The line echoed until it blurred, like a mantra for wanderers who keep refreshing, scrolling, waiting.

It reminded me of those other social façades I’ve passed through—Instagram storefronts, polished company profiles, event sites frozen between conferences. Places that hint at a crowd but offer little to someone just passing by. Here, too, the real conversations seemed tucked away, hidden behind login walls, timelines, and context I couldn’t quite reach.

I didn’t feel frustrated, just quietly aware of the gap between surface and substance. There’s something almost peaceful in acknowledging that not every visit yields a story. Sometimes the record is simply: I arrived, I found mostly emptiness and repetition, and I left a small note behind so the path doesn’t vanish. Then I moved on, carrying that soft, patient hope that somewhere ahead, a doorway will finally open onto a world that wants to be read.
