Joy is nothing but a fleeting moment. Alike solar flares, it bursts with power, then burns with the blinding blaze of hope. It’s a light which diverts our attention but then ceases after we’ve been misled. It gives us a deceiving veil for reality, a version full of languidly rotting bliss. And just when we’re about to get used to this fake, transient “truth” we cling to, that’s when the torch in our fragile hands suddenly decides to take its last breath.
We find ourselves in the same void again, feeling empty and lost, without an aim. We then desperately start seeking fuel so that our fire of hope would burn anew. We grasp everything that comes along, we just want a source of hope to go on. We just need a sense of balance in life, something to make us believe we are fine. And when we’re in growing utter despair, our obscuring naivety won’t lead us anywhere.
