The Illusions We Settle For

Complacency is rarely loud. It doesn’t announce itself.

It settles in slowly — when the familiar becomes easier than the intentional, when movement gets replaced by maintenance, when purpose gets replaced by a kind of emotional autopilot.

And Las Vegas, in all its intensity, amplified the contrast.

Because when everything around you is artificially stimulating, it becomes painfully obvious when your inner world feels flat.
