do we really exist

We exist because others see us, yet our essence is not defined by their gaze alone. Even in solitude, our existence persists—it transforms into a journey inward. Sometimes, getting lost isn't a loss but a step closer to discovering who we truly are It is in the absence of external mirrors that we confront our true reflection. The quiet of being alone is not emptiness; it is fertile ground where the seeds of self-awareness take root, growing into an understanding that no external validation can provide. Thus, to be unseen by others is not to cease to exist, but to begin seeing ourselves as we truly are—whole, unbroken, and infinite.
