Numb

Sometimes it seems like the whole world is waiting for version 2.0 of you - perfectly put together, confident, without glitches or freezes. But inside, there's background overload, the processor is melting, and someone keeps pressing ‘refresh.’ Every movement feels like it's being watched, every breath turns into a system error.

And you just want to pull the plug - not to get angry, not to prove yourself, not to be ‘how you should be.’ To become quieter, slower, more real. When it no longer matters how many times everything has fallen apart, because it is from these ruins that something is being built that you are no longer ashamed to call yourself.
