The Void
That emptiness which I don't carry actively carry, but sometimes creeps up on me like a silent ghost. Amid fading friendships and growing distances, the void always remains, long after I'd thought to have outrun it.

"I chased happiness not knowing that in my chase, it fell behind." You know how your brain does not let you wake up even though it was you who set that early alarm? They say the brain does this to protect you. That waking up means doing work, acting responsible and a whole lot of other stressful things that you don't really have the energy to do. Then why does the same brain not protect you from sadness? That irrational, generic sadness that envelops you and leaves you wondering, "Why the hell am I sad??". There is no visible reason, no explanation, you have so many things to be happy about, yet you are just so fucking miserable. Why does my brain not protect me from this? My anxiety-expert friend replies, "Because somewhere, you enjoy it".
