It sounds beautiful. Now reading your intention for the piece... this might sound cliche, but before I read the comment, I got the sense of peace and hope. Lingering in a deep pool of water. It feels mystifying and serene. Perhaps that space in your chest isn't as empty as you thought.

Perhaps not. Though I cannot see the future, I’ve more or less given up.

I can fully understand (and unfortunately share) that empty feeling as we are increasinly running into an era of social divisions happening where some groups and peoples are successfully building their connections, while others who are too individual are falling more and more outside of these cliques into empty space

Dont give up your life, continue to be nice and stay in contact with the people who accept you

I wont presume to know how you feel or what you have been through, but I do feel that people are their own worst enemies. Having a better, more positive perspective might help you to see that while life is tough and often ruthless, the only thing holding any one of us back is ourselves. The only one keeping us down is us.

Pain, sorrow, or defeat are only relevant as long as we keep it close to our hearts and minds. Giving it power over us. Everything is a learning experience... especially loss and failure. When we learn to see things for what they /are/ and not how it thwarts us, we learn how to look past those obstacles and think clearly about who we are, where we want to be, and how to get there.

Just... consider what I'm saying. Meditate on it for a while. Hopefully this advice will help you in the same way that it has helped me grow as a person.

Thanks for the nice calm piece, i always love to hear something like this from you

Glad you enjoyed it.
