Rain lashed against my Brooklyn window like a thousand tiny drummers, amplifying the hollow silence of my studio apartment.

That's when my thumb rebelliously swiped past productivity apps and landed on 17LIVE's glowing icon - a digital Hail Mary against encroaching isolation.

The rain lashed against my London window like Morse code I'd forgotten how to decipher. Day 87 of remote work had dissolved into another silent evening of blinking cursor therapy when my thumb, moving on muscle memory alone, stumbled into the neon vortex of 17LIVE. What happened next wasn't discovery – it was resuscitation.
