When the absence of pleasure arise, a drive awakens. Desires are drawn towards what could potentially ease the void. Emotions will unforgivingly link it back to ones body, battling internal feelings. You are performing as expected - As the laboring self. You will find a genuine inner display, becoming the thing you crave. The identification lies in the gap, which loops around the anxiety for the self.
