the blinking of a cursor opens the doors to  possibilities

creation of  worlds and relationships

but for me it reminds me of what i do not have

'list the 10 people closest to you'

8 of the 10 are family

people close to me due to blood relation and law

the last two slots remain empty

filled only with the steady rhythmic beat of the cursor

in a world where screens connect us, mine reminds me of how disconnected i am

that i lack social relations outside of my family

and who am i to tell my family that i am lonely when i have them?

who am i to tell them that i crave for relationships that are not mandatory and are instead of our own free will?
