Transcript excerpt
We live in a world where everyone is connected, yet no one is reachable. Mind the gap between the train and the I took the tube because something about being underground makes all of your unspoken thoughts feel closer to the surface. We weren't commuters. We were people hiding in our own narratives, flipping through the chapters in our heads instead of looking up at the world around us, inches apart yes miles away from ourselves. No one warns you that the real gaps aren't between train and platform. They're the gaps between knowing better and doing better, between leaving and letting go. We aren't unreachable because we're busy. We're unreachable because being found means being no, and being known means being real. But maybe being real is the only way any of us ever make it to the next stop. So I'll see you there.
