In the quiet corners of my heart, I feel the weight of absence. The 10th QEDcon, a gathering that once felt like home, left me with echoes of laughter and the warmth of shared ideas, now replaced by solitude. I missed the spark of connection, the joy of critical discourse, and the solace found among fellow skeptics. 🖤 The joy of exchanging thoughts on folklore and skepticism felt like a distant dream. Instead, I find myself grappling with the emptiness of being a token voice, a mere shadow in projects that never saw my true worth. I long for the days when my perspective mattered, when I was more than just a balance. #QEDcon #Skepticism #Folkl
