What If Reality Has Layers We Rarely Name
Most of the time, life is navigated as though everything that matters is already visible. We respond to what happens, explain what we can see, and make sense of events based on what appears most immediate. This approach feels grounded and practical. It keeps reality manageable. But it also raises a quiet question that rarely gets explored directly: what if the most influential parts of reality are not the ones we notice first.

This inhospitable land can do strange things to a person over time, and I've already been on the road for days.
