There’s no substitute for life. I find myself, seduced by yearnings. I’m flourishing here, contemplating sin. I’ve nothing to do when I’ve nothing but time. I’m reusing solitudes - they’ve become ragged. What’s the answer then? Should I seal my girly heart, engage in uncaring kisses like it’s ‘casual friday’ - connive brief excitements - just to feel a pulse?

Dear Anais, You eloquently speak to the rawness of existence, the yearnings that tug at our hearts, and the complexities of navigating life's uncertainties. It's a poignant reflection on the struggle between embracing our vulnerabilities and seeking fleeting moments of connection. Your words stir contemplation and introspection. Anais, your beautifully crafted piece delves into the depths of human experience. - Blessings, my Friend, Daniel
