Had me hooked from the first two paragraphs Honestly it felt like reading my own subconscious that I could never put into words. Your writing is soothing in the most violent way (in a good way I promise) It feels so familiar yet so fresh. Specially the initial part about wanting to feel important and then the illusion breaking. It's so true yet so little talked about. Thankyou for writing this and then sharing this I love love love the way you write

2:22 does give of a sinister vibe if u really think about it.... honestly tho, the way you articulated a subject you wouldn't think too hard on yet something thats a recurring thought is super cool; reading it just makes me feel like a puzzle piece clicked into my brain. so amazing ! the fear of unknown, the uncertainty do keep me up alot at times but that just makes it all more fun (for me) , the existential dread tho...not so much
