Once, the streets pulsed with a vibrant energy, a symphony of voices demanding change. Now, a disheartening void hangs heavy in the air. The signs are fading, the chants have softened to whispers, and the once-mighty tide of protest is receding into the shadows of apathy. Protest fatigue has crept in like a slow insidious disease, stealing the passion that fueled these movements. The promises made, both to themselves and to the world, now echo hollowly in the empty streets. Is this the end of a movement, or merely a pause before the next outburst?

- What happens next remains to be seen.
- But one thing is certain: the silence on our streets speaks volumes about the complexity of social change.
The question is not whether protest will continue, but what form it will take. Will we reimagine the very meaning of protest? Or will the movement fade away? The answers lie in the hearts and minds of those who dare to shape a better future.
