Nobody tells you how loud silence gets. In your 40s or 50s, the kids are grown, friendships thin out, and careers lose their shine. It’s not depression—it’s a strange, quiet loneliness that sneaks in even when life looks “successful” on the outside. This is why books and movies about solitude suddenly hit differently. They remind us we’re not alone in feeling alone. Maybe the real comfort isn’t in fixing loneliness, but in knowing other people carry it too. So tell me—when did silence start feeling heavier for you? #Entertainment #Books #LifeReflections
