Parentheses - An interruption of continuity; an interval.
"This is one of the things I wasn't prepared for — the amount of unfilled time, the long parentheses of nothing" (Margaret Atwood).
“For every period of time when you exist, short or long, there is a temporal part of you that exists only then. And for any temporal parts of any objects whatsoever, there is a larger object made up of just those parts.” - John Locke
"Every time I enunciate 'I', even in my thought, an identity is assumed, and this identity is itself not simple, but a figure of a complex gathering of personal and impersonal histories, texts, discourses, beliefs, cultural assumptions, and ideological interpellations...it is not an artifact but a process." - Richard Dyer

We've come so far, yet, back to the start.
maybe it comes with age.
i cant seem to get out of this jaded and cynical state, which i both love and loathe.
what will it take to be filled with hope once again?
everyone gets betrayed at some point in life
remember the first time?
notice how everytime you're betrayed again
you trust a little less the next time,
until you've forgotten how it was like
to trust like you've never been betrayed?
i am content.
but it does not mean i'm happy.
it is not the same as being happy.
