How many times do we know someone that or something is bad for us but we cling on to it persistently because of force of habit?

#FakeNews
‘You look so beautiful.’ ‘ I am soooooo busy. ‘ ‘My marriage is perfect.’ ‘Of course I eat… yes… real food silly!’ ‘ The holiday was amazing!’ ‘My kids are awesome!’ – every lie we ever tell each other now becomes firmly stuck in the forever world of the internet.

…to all who have lost someone
What if I were forgotten , as if I were never there? What if you couldn’t see me anymore , what if you didn’t care? When my life is over , would you know my name? Would I be remembered, would sunsets feel the same ? What if I were forgotten , as if I wereContinue reading “…to all who have lost someone”
