Displacement: Is it distance from place—or from time?
Synchronicity: A rare alignment—or a construct we chase?
Selfhood: A constant essence—or a shifting sum of contexts?
Thoughtful. Lengthy gut expression.
When you think of “home,” is it still a place—or has it become a time, a version of yourself you can’t quite return to?
Is the person you’ve become shaped more by your current environment, or by the ghost timelines of the life you thought you'd be living?
When you return to familiar places, do you find comfort in the echoes of who you once were—or do you feel haunted by the mismatch between then and now?
