Diamonds & Despair
The shine of a diamond is luring. It promises unwavering strength, yet within its heart lies a darkness, a emptiness. Diamonds are mined from the earth's essence, born of pressure and pain. Their brilliance is a cruel illusion of the despair that births their existence. We are drawn to their magnetism, yet they mirror our own inner void. Perhaps, in the end, diamonds are not a measure of love, but a manifestation of human despair.

A code of silence
In the shadowy underbelly of certain professions, a troubling code of silence often prevails. This unwritten edict dictates that members must remain silent about wrongdoing. Fear of reprisal from fellow members, coupled with a sense of loyalty towards the group, enforces this deafening silence. As a result, accountability is often buried, allowing abuse to thrive.
Breaking this code can be incredibly perilous. Those dare to speak out often face blacklisting, becoming outcasts themselves. This toxic silence creates a climate of fear where transparency is rare.
Locked In, Locked Out
The feeling of being locked in, trapped inside, imprisoned within can be suffocating, claustrophobic, overwhelming. It's a prison, cage, box of your own making, thoughts, reality. The walls close in, press down, constrict, and the air grows thick, becomes stagnant, feels heavy. You yearn to escape, break free, get out, but the door remains sealed, bars hold firm, lock refuses to budge.
Then there's the opposite: being locked out, shut outside, denied entry. The world beckons, teases, calls from just beyond your reach. You see the warmth, light, life inside, but you're excluded, separated, left behind. It can feel like a cold, lonely, desolate existence, isolated, abandoned, forgotten.
Both states mirror, reflect, share a sense of helplessness, powerlessness, resignation. They are limitations, boundaries, walls that prevent us from fully experiencing, connecting, participating in the world around us.
