“Soliloquy” is a solitary discourse with oneself, an intimate dialogue that transcends the confines of external perception. It captures the journey of introspection and self-discovery, where one navigates the labyrinthine corridors of their own mind, seeking clarity amidst the tumult of thoughts and emotions. “Soliloquy” is a solitary discourse with oneself, an intimate dialogue that transcends the confines of external perception.
