Being holed up in a room and catching up with yourself can be tiring in an ironical way. Introspection takes effort and [...]

It was one of those conversations where the word "love" was mentioned 31 times where it felt for the first time that with all this distance between us space can feel suffocating too It was one of those conversations where the word "bye" was mentioned 55 times and yet we talked regardless letting every sound [...]
