Identity VIII (2024)

I found myself surrounded by darkness. It wasn't just the absence of light; it was a thick, suffocating blanket that seemed to wrap around me, cutting me off from the world. The shadows danced around, whispering secrets I couldn't understand. Each step I took felt like wading through treacle, the darkness clinging to me like a second skin.

I strained my eyes, trying to make out any shapes in the blackness, but it was futile. There was nothing but the void, stretching out endlessly in all directions. The silence was deafening, broken only by the sound of my own breathing, shallow and uneven.

Fear crept into my heart, cold and clammy. I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, of something lurking just beyond the edge of my vision. Every sound, every rustle of leaves or creak of branches, sent shivers down my spine. I stumbled forward, desperate to escape the oppressive darkness that seemed to press in on me from all sides. But no matter how fast I ran, how far I went, it was always there, waiting for me, ready to swallow me whole.

Surrounded by darkness, I felt small and insignificant, a mere speck in the vast expanse of the universe. And as the night stretched on endlessly, I couldn't help but wonder if I would ever find my way out.

Identity VI (2024)

"Can you hear me calling? Can you hear me crying?"

Feeling as though you're already dead from sadness is an incredibly profound and distressing experience. It's like being trapped in a deep, dark pit with no way out, surrounded by an overwhelming sense of despair.

The sadness can consume you, draining you of all vitality and leaving you feeling numb and disconnected from the world around you. It's as if a heavy fog has descended upon your soul, obscuring any sense of hope or joy.

The sadness can cloud your thoughts, making it hard to concentrate or find any sense of clarity. It's like being stuck in a never-ending loop of negative thoughts and emotions, unable to break free from the cycle of despair. In this state, it can feel as though there's no escape from the overwhelming darkness that surrounds you. The world may seem bleak and devoid of meaning, and it can be hard to imagine ever finding happiness or peace again.


You might feel lethargic, as if every movement requires extra effort. Mentally, it's like trying to navigate through a dense fog; your thoughts may be clouded by sadness or worry.

It's like carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders while your spirit feels crushed under the burden. You might feel drained, as if every ounce of energy has been sucked out of you. It's like a constant ache that gnaws away at your soul, leaving you feeling hollow and empty inside.

Identity IV (2024)

Feeling blue isn't solely about experiencing sadness; it entails a sense of being adrift, disconnected, and unsure. It's akin to navigating through a thick mist, where clarity eludes you and the path ahead remains obscured. During such times, even mundane tasks can feel daunting, and the sources of joy that once illuminated your life now appear distant and beyond reach.
