the difference between real solitude, where I'm present, at ease in my own company, choosing stillness, and numbness, where I've stopped feeling the weight of things, where nothing reaches me. Not in words about them but in how each *feels* from inside: the texture of one, the blank of the other. And how being noticed without performance (without having to convince someone I'm fine) showed me I'd been closer to numbness than I thought, because acknowledgment broke through something I didn't know I'd sealed.
