An Illusion
I found myself caught in a whirlwind of false love. We took trips to beautiful places, dined at the finest restaurants, and indulged in the luxuries of life. On the surface, it seemed perfect. But beneath the glamour, there was an emptiness. It was a half-relationship, filled with moments that looked like love but lacked the depth and sincerity. The gestures were grand, but the connection was shallow. I was wined and dined, yet I felt alone. The promises made were empty, and the affection felt staged. It was a facade, a beautiful illusion that masked the reality of a love that was never truly there.

the curse of loneliness
so there are they and me sitting on the other side of the rainbow in reversed chairs it's a place where no one dares to look because they're afraid of seeing something that could shatter their perspective that's why their point of view remains stagnant untouched for decades they've buried themselves in the shadows of their shallow existence relentlessly pursuing the goals of the next generation while neglecting their own it's as if they gave up on their own lives the moment they created their younger reflection in the mirror and that's something I'll never understand

Just To Go On Vacation
Eighteen pairs of underwear for only seven days? Do I really need all these? What, do I plan on having an accident in my pants twice a day, every day? I can leave some of these behind… on second thought… better to be safe than sorry. Throw them all back in. Shorts, long pants, sweaters, tank tops - never know what the weather might be like. After all, it could still snow in the middle of summer, right? WHY WILL THIS DUFFLE BAG NOT CLOSE!?!? Please zipper, please don’t break…
