What never existed in the first place can't be neglected, ignored or denied. All that was, was not and all that it was supposed to be was nothing but a mirage found along the Death Valley. A fictitious photograph of a false future blown-up by the mind to grotesque proportions. We all know what happens to a balloon when you inflate it too much? Yeah, you realize that the great "mass" it appears to hold is nothing but thin air. The great thing about hollow dreams is that the hollow pain that follows their failure is harmless. Nevertheless, life is too short to allow oneself to be surrounded by these void emotions which bring us empty happiness.
