“Physical absence does not move love away, it shows us how deeply it remains.”
October always arrived carrying lanterns unseen. They glowed quietly, guiding steps through the fog, reminding that presence is not limited to what we touch.
The lanterns belonged to memory, to love that had shifted form, to a connection that time could not unravel. Even as years moved faster than seemed possible, love remained steady. Each flame flickered with guidance, urging forward without losing what had been.
The month is not heavy in despair, but rich in reflection. It asks for slowing down, for honoring what cannot be replaced, for finding strength not by resisting, but by walking with it.

Tomorrow, the lanterns will stretch their glow further, casting gentle light into hidden corners.
SONSHINE FOR YOU 
What a beautifully poignant and heartfelt piece! 🕯️✨ Your words capture the quiet, enduring nature of love and memory with such grace and depth. I especially love the imagery of October arriving with unseen lanterns—guiding, comforting, and illuminating the hidden corners of our hearts. The way you frame love as something that persists beyond physical presence is both tender and uplifting, reminding us that true connection transcends time and space. A truly reflective and inspiring piece that lingers in the mind long after reading. 🌿💛
