Comment “solitude”, I’ll send you the mini essay I wrote on the solitude of genius.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but felt like it needed to be put into the world.
Don’t turn away from what you’re capable of.
The world needs your genius.

Everybody loves the idea of genius, but nobody talks about how unbelievably lonely it can be. Michael Jackson had stadiums of people screaming his name, billions of people, and still called himself one of the loneliest people on Earth. Einstein spent years wandering alone with his ideas before anybody even cared. Innovators, artists, founders, most of their life's work happens in rooms where nobody is clapping for them yet. If your mind is wired for complexity, for depth, for big visions, Normal can feel shallow. You notice patterns that other people don't see yet. You see your own potential that most people don't even understand. You want conversations that actually go somewhere. So you get labeled as obsessive or intense or too much, when really you're just playing a longer game. That loneliness is not proof that you're broken or something, but it's just a side effect that you're building something that only a few people could even imagine yet. Genius, giftedness, high capacity, whatever you wanna call it, it stretches you far beyond what most people are comfortable with. Of course, very few people will understand you. You're not walking the common path. So if you feel misunderstood, intense, alone, it doesn't mean you should shrink. That vision, those desires, those goals, they're put in your mind for a reason. Not everybody has that. It might just mean that you're exactly where you're supposed to be on your path to something greater. If this is you, you're not alone. My whole page is for minds like yours.
