____ This story is like a never-ending nightmare inside a dream.___ 🌌✨
I found myself on a mountain where dreams once lived.
The trees swayed like they were breathing. The plants glowed softly under moonlight, whispering as if they remembered the wishes people had left behind. It should have felt peaceful.
But it was midnight.
And I was alone.
There was no path, no lantern, no voices—only me. Around me, shadows moved. Not human ones. They were softer, stranger. Some of them looked like pieces of fog. Others stretched too long to be real.
The waterfall nearby roared in the distance, but I couldn’t see it. The wind blew against me, heavy, like it was trying to push me back.
I wanted to cry.
I wanted someone to hold my hand and say it was okay.
But no one was there.
If I turned around—no one.
If I walked forward—still no one.
And yet… I walked. Step by step.
Even though fear wrapped around me like cold air, I tried to look calm. I kept asking myself:
Why am I here?
How did I come to this place alone?
If I’m scared… why didn’t I stay home?
I stopped. My chest was tight.
I looked up.
The sky was wide and quiet. The moon hung alone above me—round and silver, glowing gently. Just like me, it had no one beside it. But stars circled it like tiny guardians, flickering in the dark.
And then… I understood.
Maybe I’m here because I’m strong enough to be.
Maybe I was meant to begin something alone, in the dark, on a mountain no one else could climb.
I smiled, just a little.
Then I kept walking—step by step—into the unknown.
Not because I had no fear.
But because I had found a light inside me, even when the world had none.💫
