"小さい意味な闇 “a little darkness”
Beautiful story that discusses our hidden emotional trauma.

“Because I start thinking it’s the awful, painful feelings we carry inside us that resonate. All the bright, happy things we’ve build up, things in our lives that have their feet on the ground—it all starts to seem like an illusion, and I feel I've been shut up in a box the whole time.”" — May 12, 2026 09:21AM
