We have never been so connected. Humanity has never been this accepting. Indeed, we are moving forward. But isn't it ironic? That in this age of openness, It is considered wiser not to show care. That caring is something miraculous. Almost. We almost did it. We almost showed passion. We almost cared. We almost loved. We. Almost. Made it. Almost. But never enough. Yes, now, we value honesty but we always forget that not saying what we really want to say is the opposite of what we uphold. This is not honesty. This is far from the truth. We are lying. We've been lying to ourselves. Hypocrites. Casualties. We end up faking our deaths, Eternally uncertain what could've happened if veered away from life's What if's.
