“In the mornings, she sat in the sun like a houseplant - barefaced, half-dressed, wrapped in yesterday’s silk. No calls. No clocks. Just the soft click of a lighter and the sound of someone else’s music coming through the wall. She took photos, but never posted them. Wrote names in her notebook, just to forget them. Walked without maps. Ate alone. Tasted everything slowly. Lit candles for no one. Let her skin smell like smoke and citrus. Listened to her thoughts until they stopped making noise.
No big moments. No stories worth retelling. Just a woman in a city where no one knew her name and she liked it that way.
Sometimes the softest luxury is choosing yourself in silence. ”
