2) A growing need for silence

Noise becomes overwhelming. Stillness becomes nourishing. Conversations turn deeper or fewer, while time in nature feels essential. This is not loneliness, but intentional quiet. In silence, inner awareness sharpens.

3) Reflection and emotional completion

Memories surface with clarity and purpose. There is a gentle urgency to resolve unfinished emotional matters—to forgive, to ask forgiveness, to speak truths long held back. Being right no longer matters; peace does. This inner reckoning brings freedom.

4) A longing for a deeper “home”

A subtle yearning emerges, often expressed simply as “I want to go home.” It isn’t despair or escape—it’s recognition. The sky, the sea, and distant horizons feel familiar. While the body grows heavy, the soul feels ready to release weight.
