I used to think coming home to an empty place would feel lonely, but lately it’s been the one part of my day I actually look forward to. There’s something different about walking in, kicking off my shoes, and not having to talk to anyone or explain anything after a long day. I just cook something simple, scroll on my phone, and let the silence settle in without it feeling heavy anymore. It’s not that I don’t enjoy people, but I’ve started to realize how peaceful it is when the only energy I have to deal with is my own.
