The voice is loud and clear.

Minute-to-minute tracking, suspicion, distrust, accountability called for by someone who has mental health issues.

“You were logged in at 2.53 pm. The maid came with her documents after that. Two messages are deleted in between. You logged out at 2.58 pm.

Whom were you chatting with for those 5 minutes, when my call was not picked up?”

Get lost

https://open.spotify.com/episode/3QEz5YH962DNiI91encgRi?si=c8c65782efad425c An old woman rambles on about her life - though the stories have lost relevance to others.

Yet, there’s so much I would like to lose … Continue reading Get lost
