Void

One of the worst stages a man goes through in his life is void, it usually happens when the boy dies and the man is born.

You never get warned or asked, it just happens all of a sudden, and when I say void it's not really empty it's completely the opposite.

You start feeling too many emotions too many feelings, you get too many desires, and you get asked to do and be so many things.

Life would never be the same and you start feeling like you're never going to be able to deal with all of it, you'll never be enough.

So at a certain point you'll feel that void, all those troubles are still there but you won't be able to feel them, it is just like the human body, when you get used to be hit so hard in the same place for too long, you'll lose sense and can't feel it anymore but in the inside you'll keep bleeding.

This is when nostalgia hits, you start itching for some feelings, so you run to your memories and look for the happy ones, and when you do find them, you'll be trapped there, start to deny reality and escape from it.

Each time something bad happens, you'll be brought back to reality, what a terrible experience.

There's only two choices here, wake up and accept reality as it is or even work to make it better, and the second choice is giving up and living in an illusion you create in your mind while you keep bleeding on the inside.

I choose to wake up to reality.
