Mental Health

Broken Filter. Top Story - April 2026.
Why don’t you ever think before you speak? But I do, and did, I planned to every dotted T. Somehow with every line conversation keeps diverging increasingly unmanageably.

My honesty went quiet.. My explanations went silent since over a year… My words were ignored… My anxiety went cowardice…

What I Want
I got what I wanted and, Now that I have it, I realize, It wasn’t what I wanted. I built my dream and, Now that I’ve built it.
