She was an addict.
Because she was addicted.
Not to drugs fortunately, not to Nutella and not to Twitter like any so-called “normal” teenager.
She was addicted to ice cubes.
I c e C u b e s
She’d munch and chew on those blocks of frozenness mindlessly
D a y in, day out.
Night in, niI g ht out.
Why you ask?
Because they numbed the pain, stopped the heartache and blocked the worries.
Even if it was just for a split second.
It felt like heaven.
And, that’s what she craved.
Just that single moment of nothingness.
The absolute bliss of nothingness
A single photon of light in the never-ending dark abyss of worries troubles and fears.
~ A spiritual novella
