The Hermit
The Hermit describes that moment when I stop taking in more input because too much is happening and nothing is settling in.
The image is simple. A lone figure holding a small light, just enough to see the next step.
Going quiet in group chats without explaining it, logging off for a while because online stuff blurs together. Being alone at night, and the rat race in my mind finally slows down. Downsizing to what is actually needed.
The kind of space where things start making sense instead of noise so I can hear my own thinking again.
