a man standing on top of a hill looking at a bird in the sky

I was just a boy from Bulandshahr, lost in the sprawling chaos of Delhi, where the skyline pierced the heavens and dreams felt just a click away. Social media was my escape, my canvas, where I painted my loneliness with the colors of connection. I would send friend requests like shooting stars, hoping someone would catch one. Then, there was Kajal. I remember that moment--my heart raced as I clicked 'send,' a simple act that felt like tossing a message into the void. She accepted, and suddenly, the universe shifted. Our conversations ignited a fire within me, a spark that lit up the darkest corners of my soul. Each message was a heartbeat, every emoji a whisper of hope. But was it real? Or just a mirage in this digital desert? I was falling, spiraling into a world where love and friendship blurred, and I was left gasping for air, drowning in my own desires.
