A place defined by absence.
Some places exist only because they’re nowhere in particular.
A stretch of road with no landmarks. A blank spot on a map that never needed a name. A moment in time that doesn’t belong to any larger story.
There’s a quiet comfort in belonging to no single point.
When you’re not pinned to a location or an expectation, you can move without explanation. You don’t have to prove your reason for being there. You can just stand in the middle of nothing and feel it as enough.
Absence has its own kind of presence.
It sharpens the edges of whatever does appear—a passing thought, a distant sound, a small certainty you didn’t know you were carrying. Without the noise of definition, even the simplest details feel more honest.
Sometimes nowhere is the most unguarded place to be.
It doesn’t ask for performance or purpose. It offers a kind of neutrality that feels rare and necessary—a brief reprieve from all the coordinates you’re supposed to track.
Nowhere can be exactly where you need to stand.
