Ronnie has always been a quiet, private thinker. Although intelligent and thoughtful, his shy nature has prevented him from excelling academically or socially. At 18, Ronnie finds himself drifting through his final year of high school without any clear direction or aspirations.

Beneath his reticent exterior, Ronnie's mind races with questions about humanity, society, and his place within it. He longs to unravel life's deeper mysteries but lacks the confidence to share his insights with others. Ronnie prefers to observe people from a distance rather than actively engage with them.

While his peers are focused on college acceptance, relationships, and post-graduation plans, Ronnie remains lost in introspection. He struggles to connect with classmates whose interests seem superficial compared to the profound ideas that occupy his inner world. Ronnie comes to see himself as somehow separate from, or above, those around him due to the depth of his thoughts.

As graduation nears, Ronnie realizes he must decide upon a path. With no guidance or support system, he feels immense pressure to prove himself worthy despite his shy nature. Ronnie begins to question if his intellectual ponderings amount to anything meaningful if kept private. He starts to crave validation for the insights that give him purpose and identity.

In a moment of bravery, Ronnie decides to anonymously publish excerpts from his notebooks of philosophical musings online. To his surprise, some readers are intrigued by his unique perspective and style of thinking 'outside the box.' This newfound audience stokes Ronnie's desire to unravel further Deep Thoughts and share them with the world
