Chapter 1: The Outside Perspective

Have you ever experienced that feeling of being an outsider? It’s as if everything around you is in disarray, floating above your head without significance, while you seem to exist in a separate realm. People rush from one side to the other, and it’s challenging to keep pace.

The external world is real and often closer than we realize. Moreover, others seem to be moving at a speed beyond our reach. It feels as though everything unfolds simultaneously: the far corners of the globe and our own frustrated attempts to connect with others. While we’re on this distant plane, reaching out to someone feels impossible.

Yet, there’s no enigma here; the "other side" is merely another segment of life’s intricate puzzle. In this unpredictable game filled with surprises, we continuously strive to fit the pieces together to complete the picture. However, without a crucial piece, solving the riddle becomes impossible.

Living is a gradual process of unveiling layers, discovering nuances that ultimately impact the final outcome. The harsh reality is that some artworks may never reach completion. The more we search for these elusive pieces, the more they seem to slip away.

Some things are simply as they are. A life spent chasing the reasoning behind every occurrence (and absence) can feel unfulfilled. Those who incessantly question everything may lose sight of their true path, ensnared by the choices they didn’t make.

The "other side" is just that — the other side, and the missing pieces are merely unaccounted for. Nothing more.

Chapter 2: Embracing Silence

It sounds straightforward, yet it isn’t. When do we come to this realization? When we hear the melodies that resonate from the other side of the world — a song only audible in moments of silence.

I’ve come to appreciate silence as a means to truly understand these feelings. Let me clarify: it’s absolute silence, but there’s a cacophony within — a disjointed rhythm pounding in my chest, accompanied by other unsettling noises that linger in my ears.

I’ve learned to listen to the unspoken words of others — and they communicate volumes. (Beware, as this can resonate deeply within you!). The subtleties, the unfulfilled glances, the unanswered calls — the list is extensive.

The outside world presents us with the chance to observe, tapping into a sixth sense that we rarely utilize, yet it illuminates many of the pieces we struggle to locate. I cherish the adage: be silent and watch intently.

Silence allows us to hear the internal noise and discern its meaning.

Often, this voice emerges from someone attempting to drive us into further chaos, but it predominantly originates from within ourselves, from the other side of the world.

The insights gained from observation may not always align with our expectations; they rarely do. However, they often spare us from unnecessary emotions. If the other side continues to beckon us, it’s a sign that we have yet to understand what draws us there.
