Do you ever feel like the world is spinning too fast?
That you’re caught in some kind of time lapse?
You hear the echo of laughing
You see others passing
but you feel alone.
You’re out of breath.
You’re out of time.
You feel the world collapse.
And you know that you’re
going to
choke.

&ldquo;Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.&rdquo;<br /> ― Kurt Vonnegut
