This article will find you when you most need it

If you're seeing this, something is off. You can't quite name it.

There's no dramatic event, no obvious catastrophe. Just a dull, persistent feeling that the life you're living isn't the one you're supposed to live.

A crack running through everything. An invisible rupture between who you are and who you've been pretending to be.

Maybe you followed all the rules, graduated, got the job, found the partner, posted the smiling photos... and yet you feel empty.

As if there's a part of you watching everything from the outside, wondering when the real thing is supposed to start. This is not a defect, it's your consciousness trying to emerge.
