Description

Bankruptcy is a ceremony where all assets turn to dust and creditors revel as though at a lavish festival. Those who loudly proclaim financial independence ultimately receive cold congratulations from the court clerk. Debts arrive like a prince at a ball, only to kick you in the heart the more they dance around you. By the time you see the word ’liquidation’, your self-esteem has long since evaporated. The reflected truth in that mirror is how fragile predictability and future security truly were.
