@life
Why do you choose them?
(They didn’t choose you, @life
+
They were just little atoms in someone’s body
+
They felt nothing)
*
They had no understanding
=
If they knew what you were, would they even let you close
ꙮꙮꙮ
You penetrated them, @life
+
You possess them for a while
+
Leave them when you want
-
They can contradict your decision
=
You are an abuser
ꙮꙮꙮ
You smiled at them first
+
You seemed to be a gift
+
You made them feel precious
+
You decided to make them suffer
+
You made them want you even more
=
You are a toxic folk

Just being kind is enough in this world?
There’s a well-known saying that suggests financial strength is the source of anyone’s confidence; money, it claims, can remedy all inferiority complexes. The notion is that kindness is futile — excellence is the key.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
