Identity VI

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.
