One Sunday morning, I emerged from a deep and intricate dream, feeling a lingering echo in my ears and a sense of loss for something I could no longer reach. The remnants of the dream faded away, leaving behind a feeling of melancholy and elusiveness, as if important pieces of my experience had disappeared into an unreachable void.

Amidst this profound sense of disconnection and the chaos of lost threads, a striking sentence emerged clearly, standing out like an urgent news banner. It encapsulated a message that cut through the darkness, reminding me of the book "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt, which seemed to resonate within the context of my experience.
