    "I don't have anything to offer you but commiseration..."

I don't know that I/we want/need anything other than that, honestly.

Deep down I know that I am all good, and not actually suffering from anything uncurable. It's a malaise. It's frustration. It's annoyance. It's boredom. It's the unsettled nature of everything, and feeling like there is no firm ground to stand on.

Just knowing others are feeling the same things can be a kind of comfort... a de-isolation... a shared feeling, even if the someone you are sharing it with is some weirdo behind an online username.

There are so many fragments, now. Where do we stand on firm ground, any more?
