Could this be a sign I’ve been waiting for?

Every day feels like a quiet struggle, counting coins and chasing small hopes.
Sometimes, amidst the monotony, I catch a fleeting glance or a subtle wave from someone passing by.
It’s almost like they see me in my invisible disguise.
Just a smile from a stranger makes my heart pause; maybe I’m not completely alone in this crowded world after all.
Dreams of connection still flicker deep inside, offering tiny sparks of warmth on cold days.
