It had been five years since I chose solitude, leaving the noise of the city behind for the quiet of the wilderness. At first, it was peaceful—just me and my thoughts, hiking through the mountains, cooking meals for one, and reading books in silence. But as the days turned to years, the isolation grew heavy.
I missed simple things: the sound of someone else’s voice, shared laughter, even mundane conversations. I spoke to the trees, the birds, the sky, but the loneliness lingered. In the quiet, I realized how much I craved connection, yet feared it after all this time alone.
As the fifth year approached, I knew it was time to return, to face the world I’d left behind. I wasn’t the same woman anymore. Stronger, quieter, and uncertain—but ready to find out what came next. With one last glance at the mountains, I stepped forward, ready for whatever awaited me beyond the silence.
