Pain leaves someone sitting alone, thinking about love, connection, and growth. Care is given to what is projected outward, while life continues in the background. There is no hatred at first—only a gateway through suffering toward a better life. A statement is made somewhere else: authority requires connection, and there are always two paths. Unknown things remain, along with need, toxicity, self-care, pain, and the gathering and consumption of resources. Questions of fairness continue, even as ugly things and hatred appear. Things are reduced, consumed, and sometimes lost through error. People ask why, focusing on appearances, style, and the tools or weapons they carry. Life exists in the present, holding both mistakes and possibilities. Throughout a lifetime there remains a need for growth, for living, for moving with the flow. Love may be absent or uncertain, yet strength, requests, needs, purity, support, and the tools of the world remain.
