Illusion

There’s this thing about life where everything feels like it’s just… fake. Like you’re walking around, checking the boxes, but none of it feels real. It’s like you’re staring at a picture of what you want, but it’s just a reflection in a broken mirror. The closer you get, the more it shatters.

I keep wondering if any of it even mattered. All those plans, those dreams I used to hold onto so tight, but now it’s hard to remember why I cared in the first place. I look around, and everything’s changing so fast, but I’m stuck. It’s like I’m moving through this haze, unable to touch anything solid, unable to find my way out.

I used to think there was meaning in all of it. I thought if I just kept going, kept pushing, I’d find something real, something worth fighting for. But now it just feels like the more I try, the more it all slips away. Like the things that used to matter don’t matter anymore. Or maybe they never did.

I catch myself thinking about all the times I convinced myself I was okay, when I wasn’t. Or how I told myself everything would work out, even though deep down I knew it wouldn’t. It’s all so exhausting, pretending. Pretending that I have it all together when the truth is, none of it makes sense. None of it’s as simple as I thought it would be.

Sometimes I wish I could step out of it, see things clearly, but every time I think I understand, it all fades again. Like it was never even real.

So here I am, questioning it all. Questioning what I thought was true, questioning what I thought was worth my time. Wondering if there’s any point to any of it, or if it’s all just some twisted illusion I’ve been living in without realizing.
