Am i ?

Chapter One: Early Awareness

I grew up in the neighborhoods of my city, watching the people around me, listening to them, seeing them… yet never belonging to them.

With every passing day, I felt a strange kind of energy surrounding me, as if something inside me kept me from blending in.

Laughter sounded empty, words felt fake, and actions were nothing more than performances.

I hid behind my silence, watching, analyzing, and wondering: Why am I different? Am I the one lacking something, or is everyone else sick in their own way?

My silence was both my weapon and my burden. I spoke only when necessary, and I never lied just to please someone.

I always saw the truth, but I could never explain it. I couldn’t adapt to a world that placed no value on honesty.

Chapter Two: Facing the Self

As I moved forward in school, I began to notice something: some people carried a natural talent for pretending—acting like they had what they didn’t.

I watched them, studied their movements and words, astonished… how were they succeeding at everything?

I tried to fit in, laugh, joke, hide my silence… but something strange always stopped me, an invisible barrier holding me back, pushing me to remain as I was—honest with myself, far from melting into the crowd.

And that’s when the devil appeared—not an external demon, but an inner feeling, a part of me pushing me to experiment, to color outside the lines, to manipulate the way others did.

Every time I wanted to reach out to him, I stopped… I knew the path was filled with danger, and that one wrong step could awaken something irreversible.

Chapter Three: The Twenties and Isolation

Now, in my twenties, I began to notice something else:

Honesty didn’t make me stronger socially, nor did it open the doors of success easily.

Instead, it left me in place, watching the world from a distance, observing people, learning from their actions, feeling helpless at times.

Girls, relationships, daily interactions… everything seemed simple to others, yet it felt complicated to me, because I could see the truth behind the masks.

I saw the lies, read the hidden intentions, and knew I could never paint myself or act the way others did.

Yet inside me, the devil whispered: What if you tried? What if you reached out?

I wondered: Would I find freedom in blending in? Or would I lose myself deeper in the illusion of a fake life?

Chapter Four: The Inner Conflict

Day by day, the conflict grew clearer:

Between the honesty I carried within me… and the desire to engage with others to avoid loneliness.

I realized that silence wasn’t only an obstacle… it was part of my nature, a part of me that kept me from becoming a fake version of everyone else.

The devil was no longer just an illusion… he had become a strange guide.

He pushed me to think, to challenge myself, to see reality as it was—without decoration.

And every time I heard his whisper, I felt both freedom and fear at once.

True freedom isn’t in pretending… but in facing the truth, no matter how painful.

Chapter Five: Numbness

Now, I began to notice something unfamiliar inside me.

It was as if the colors that once filled my life were fading, and the laughter around me had turned into a distant echo.

I no longer felt anything—no joy, no sadness, no anger… nothing at all.

I had lost the feelings and the moods I once experienced even in the smallest details.

Even music, even words, even scents… everything became tasteless, colorless, emotionless.

It was as if I had become a silent observer, watching the world from behind a glass wall—seeing everything, yet unable to touch or feel it.

My inner demons didn’t disappear… they became clearer.

The old devil still whispered, but now his voice was cold, empty, without desire or motivation… just a hollow echo reflecting an inner void I couldn’t fill.

People around me moved, laughed, lived, loved, suffered… and I?

I was there, among them, yet far away—like a shadow with no soul.

Silence was no longer just a weapon… it became my mirror.

I saw myself as I was: a vast emptiness, without waves, without pulse, without feeling.

Everything felt like a performance… even me.

And in this new kind of loneliness, I began to understand something:

Losing feelings might not be an ending… but the beginning of a deeper understanding, a new chapter, a different idea of life.

For even in numbness, awareness remains… an awareness that could become a path to true freedom.

Final Chapter: Boundless Awareness

In the end, I found myself… but not in the way I expected.

I was no longer the person who laughed or cried with the world, nor was I part of the play everyone else performed.

I became an observer—aware, honest with myself even in my emptiness, even in the loss of feeling.

Freedom didn’t come from blending in, nor from pretending or lying,True freedom came from accepting myself as I am—without colors, without sounds, without moods or emotions… only pure awareness.

The inner devil was no longer an enemy… but a quiet guide, teaching me that life isn’t always about feeling or pleasure, and that seeing reality as it truly is—even when harsh—is real strength.

Even if I remained alone, even if I kept watching the world from afar…

I realized that boundless awareness is my true place, and that truth, even when painful, gives the soul a freedom no one can take away.

But the story isn’t over…

Perhaps tomorrow holds a moment that changes everything,perhaps something within me has yet to awaken—something that will return what I have lost.
