Argument in Favour of the Unspeakable 01

It hurts when I lose them,
and I always eventually lose them.

Wouldn’t it hurt far less
in the grand scheme of everything
if, instead,
they lose me?

November 2024 (exact date unknown)


I don’t really want to die. I want to be connected. I don’t want to continue living this disconnected. But, if I die, I disappear. They lose me instead of the other way around. Them losing me hurts far less than me losing them, and I can’t feel any hurt at all after I die anyway.
