Just a state of mind...

I actually don't think you are talking about yourself here...for some reason I'm seeing this as a metaphor for something else? Of course, it is very relatable to a lot of things is most of our everyday lives so...very clever of you. I mean...really, it could relate to last minute Christmas shopping in my life :)

Life gets dark, very twisted at times... this is a powerful dark piece.. well done Michael!!

When life has reached its darkest moment, I know the feeling well. But we have to believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we are able with enormous strength by our side to overcome these moments. Enjoyed reading.

While reading this I felt like I'm having an anxiety attack! The suffocation, doubts and hopelessness really has a way to throw you off balance...an intense write. Take care.

I agree with all Ingrid says, this is an excellent piece. I myself gave it a fully deserved five the other night and meant to comment on it but got side tracked by the other excellent piece you wrote that night which is nominated!
All the best,
Ben
