Why am I not satisfied? I have all I want, everything I need. There are people who have it worse than me, so why do I still crave more? Why am I craving time? I think I’m running out of it. I feel it slipping somewhere beneath my skin, though I am young and everyone says youth is endless. So why do I ache to see more? Why do I ache to be seen? Maybe there is a hunger in me that cannot be fed by gratitude alone.

Why am I not satisfied? I have all I want, everything I need. There are people who have it worse than me, so why do I still crave more? Why am I craving time? I think I’m running out of it.

Maybe there is a hunger in me that cannot be fed by gratitude alone.
the hunger to be seen.
