The Loop of Sorrow: Awakening in Darkness (1)

Happiness. Joy. Delight.

Pain. Sorrow. Despair.

They're nothing more than relative terms—labels we assign to the ever-changing conditions of life.

Every person has their moments. Moments when they feel they've reached the very peak of life, standing atop everything they've ever hoped to achieve.

And then, there are the moments when they plummet .. deep into the pitch-black pit of despair.

These highs and lows define the human experience. Fueled by the sheer weight of the emotions we carry.

But for most people, those moments—whether joyful or tragic—are fleeting.

They pass.

Sometimes they leave scars that never truly fade, but life, in one way or another, continues forward.

But what about that… anomaly?

That one rare, terrifying anomaly—

when life flips upside down the very moment you've reached your greatest joy…

and drags you, screaming, into the jaws of despair and death?
