I don’t want to stop existing. I want a smaller, quieter world where cruelty’s predictability is less exhausting than the cruelty itself. A world with clear lines, where actions have weight, where courage blooms, and evil is named without debate. I see the chaos. I see the unfairness. I see the noise. I accept it. I do not like it. But I carry my wishes. Because I am human. Because some parts of me refuse to be erased. I imagine a life simple, grounded, meaningful not to escape, but to touch what feels sacred, shaped. I carry longing. I do not expect it to be fulfilled. I will not confuse desire with entitlement. I do not demand that reality bend. I do not cut away the parts that hurts.
