There's a bittersweet paradox here. The way certain experiences can feel intensely alive and connected in the moment, yet leave us feeling more isolated from others when the high fades.

It’s such a relatable struggle, balancing the pull of those vivid moments with the need to stay grounded and connected to the people around us.

Your journey shows how the path to clarity sometimes means giving up what initially brought comfort, and that’s a powerful takeaway.

Thanks for sharing!
