There's something about a night alone in the Sahara that changes you. I was on a solo trip, seeking some sort of enlightenment, I guess. I set up camp under the stars, miles from civilization. The silence was overwhelming, almost sacred. As the night deepened, I felt my worries diminish, insignificant under the vast, starry sky. It was a moment of pure solitude, yet I felt connected to something larger than myself. That night, with the cool sand beneath me and a universe above, I found a peace I'd been searching for.
