King’s Regrets | 2021

~unavailable/used as an underpainting for No Regrets~

You might have felt fine, at least for a moment, but you knew those walls would fall again, as they had in the past, and the regrets would pour in to swallow you whole. To maintain some control over your kingdom, you needed to find, once again, new ways to distance yourself from the demons in your head. I saw how exhausted you were; no wonder you were slowly running out of ideas on how to keep the game going.

Could this have been why you so often dreamed about what life could look like without having any regrets? You were sure that the feeling would be so intense and profound that it would change you on a subatomic level. You thought it would have made your heart radiate golden rays until the end of time.

Then one day, you did it! You turned your dreams into reality!

And THIS is what it looks like.
