• There’s never a single quiet moment
• I figured I get plenty of alone time, but I realized every walk, every commute, every minute before sleep is backfilled with a podcast or music
• There’s never a single minute where it’s just me and my own thoughts
• The second there’s any quiet I reach for a book, a feed, a podcast
• I fill every empty second with a podcast, a scroll, some noise, and I’ve realized I never just let my mind go quiet and wander anymore
