Solitude Is My Default, Loyalty Is Earned

I don’t need people for the sake of people.
Every relationship I’ve had found me, I wasn’t hunting for it. Companionship should expand a life, not fill its empty corners.

I listen before speaking, especially in unfamiliar rooms.
I learn others long before they learn me. Strangers gravitate toward me—maybe it’s the quiet gravity of someone who watches more than they perform.

Loyalty for me isn’t soft. It’s structural.
If trust cracks, there is no negotiation table. Some bridges aren’t meant to be rebuilt.

Trust is not fragile, but the betrayed have no interest in gluing it back together.
