I felt as if we've been using so many words to describe how we feel in the present that's filled with social tunnels meant to bring us together but does other wise. I thought what if I try and describe that feeling of barely existing, the numbness that comes after trying so many times to fit in but can't. I feel that if people knew how similar their feelings are, we'll stop being beside the world.
