Encounter
 

In my twenties, everything that happened to me felt remarkably strange and alien. Life often felt like an abrupt collision with the unknown, leaving me bewildered and disoriented. It was as if I had stumbled into an endless tunnel or was suddenly plummeting toward a cliff. Much like young Alice falling through the rabbit hole at the start of her journey, my late-onset inner adolescence was a series of unforeseen encounters—a persistent cycle of anxiety and chaos.
