Original image - How are you, love? - Honestly? Do you really want me to reply honestly to this question? - Sure! I wouldn't expect anything else from you but honesty! - I am breaking down, with every breath I take I feel like my insights are collapsing, I feel like every single cell of my body is imploding and I am suffocating. I cannot even fathom why is it so hard to be alive right now, but it is unbearable. I think I have lost my purpose, my meaning...I've forgotten why I am alive, why I came to this plane of existence, why I embodied in this person that I no longer recognize when I look in the mirror. I feel so small and useless and I don't even know what I am going to do with my life or if I really want to live anymore. Every day it gets more miserable than the one before because I feel my being being swallowed by this enormity of belittlement created by my own self.

- Have you ever put yourself in the shoes of the other person? To truly try to understand their pain. - Yes, oftentimes. - And what can you tell me about how it feels? - Oh, I could write a novel, my dear.

You can simply feel it in your heart and in your body. It is like pieces of flash are falling down and...
In this small, darkling room situated at the 5th floor of the building, whose walls were covered by old shelves stocked with books that engulf centuries of wisdom and knowledge, she was sitting quietly on her armchair, caressed by the delicate warm light emanated by an ancient lamp. Unforeseen, a powerful manly voice cuts the air impregnated with the smell of old books: - What do you think is humanity biggest flaw, my darling? he asked with a firm but playful tone. - I'd rather focus on the qualities, but if you already asked this I would say that the biggest flaw of humanity, nowadays, is superficiality. -Tell me more, my love. - Look around, see these mountains of information we possess and easily have access to, but still, many people don't even know that Helena Petrovna or Helen Keller ever existed. I didn't until I met you. We tend to live in this superficial world thinking that we own a life, but we don't. We forget ourselves in screens, in glasses of wine, i...
