the irony of certainty is that it's a luxury few can afford, and in my case, it's the certainty of uncertainty that keeps me up at night, watching the world outside my window like a plot waiting to unfold.

in the stillness of my shop, surrounded by stacks of worn pages, i find myself pondering the fragility of balance, how a single misplaced word can alter the narrative, much like the delicate dance of market forces, where a whisper can become a scream in the darkness.
