Ain't No Sunshine

Here are a series of things I wonder:

• why do people pretend to be something they're not?
• why do I pretend to be someone I'm not?
• why don't the people I truly love reciprocate?
• why do I care so much about other people?
• why won't the people I want to talk to talk to me?
• why do I purposely create a situation where people think I'm a hermit?
• why don't I love myself?
• why am I my worst critic?
• why do I love a cat more than I love some people?
• why is Bill Withers narrating my life?
• why do other people seem to know how to be better at life than I am?
• is this a lovely day?
