"I recall a day when I broke down in tears at a restaurant. People stared at me with a mix of curious, sympathetic, and stranger's eyes. I cried so intensely that my chest began to ache, but I managed to compose myself. It felt like I was drowning in deep water, even though I'd never seen the ocean before. The loneliness was overwhelming, like being submerged in a dark, silent abyss where no one could hear my voice and sunlight couldn't penetrate. It was terrifying, and I desperately searched for a glimmer of hope. The feeling was suffocating, leaving me feeling half-alive. Eventually, I was exhausted and surrendered to my emotions, letting the darkness consume me."
