The void did not leave , the thing staring back at me did ,. making me the thing in the void staring back at you . And yes i noticed the emptiness when the thing left ,. But did notice i have enough to fill it up . And yes it is a bit dark and depressing ,. and that is where i know that i am the light and happiness can only come from inside of me to myself . So happy new year friend and cheers on our evolution in to a better world .
