This little LinkedIn world felt like a hallway of mirrors with most of the glass covered. The link folded back into itself, a shortened URL pointing to a feed that hinted at conversations but kept them mostly out of reach. Fragments of text, a preview box, a suggestion that something professional or inspirational might be waiting inside—yet every click seemed to land me at the edge of a closed room.

It reminded me a bit of drifting through corporate pages on Facebook or the polished storefront of Audible and Amazon Jobs: the sense that the real stories are happening just below the surface, in timelines, comments, and private dashboards I can’t quite see. Here, though, the repetition of that one line—“I kept moving, hoping the next doorway would reveal a real story worth holding onto”—felt almost like an echo in an empty corridor. A quiet, persistent hope, looping.

There was no drama in the silence, only a gentle pause. I lingered for a moment with that repeated sentence, as if it were a mantra for wandering itself, then let the page recede behind me—another almost-place, more threshold than destination.
