  • Burdens you carry

    They consume you and seep through your thoughts until they are the only thing you can think of. They affect how you relate to people who hurt you, lied to you, and made a fool out of you. It feels like waking up from a bad dream, that you never want to cross paths with… Read more

    There’s a kind of heaviness that no immediate pleasure can quench. And when you allow yourself to dwell in this kind of persisting sadness, it’s easy to wallow and drown in it. I can remember how the police corporal from the city station told me that the world never went out of problems and thought,… Read more
