Are You Breathing?

There's a moment in every climb when the air thins-when success starts to taste like absence. The spotlight burns, the applause blurs, and the dream that once felt alive begins to hollow from the inside out. What happens when the summit you've spent your life chasing turns out to be quiet-too quiet?This isn't a story about falling. It's about what comes after the top-when the noise fades, the trophies dull, and the only thing left is the sound of your own breath learning to return.
