Tomorrow is Halloween. On Halloween night, the streets come alive—laughter echoing down sidewalks, costumes swishing under streetlights, jack-o’-lanterns glowing on porches. It’s loud and fun and theatrical. But if you pause for a moment, if you step back from the noise, there’s something quieter underneath it all. A kind of loneliness that doesn’t show up in the pictures. The truth is, the people who seem the most lit-up are often the ones feeling the most alone.
