I wish I could run into the world’s arms. Linger within the spaces between nothing. I wish I could filter out of existence. To live quietly without dying. I wish I could be cherished by life itself. To speak and sing volumes without lying to myself.

I wish I could run into the world's arms, linger within the spaces between nothing, filter out of existence, live quietly without dying, wish I could be cherished by life itself. To speak and sing volumes without lying to myself. These are all wonderful wishes. However, they also come with some negative connotations.

If life is an illusion, then this quote implies that we should never be real because we are part of an illusion. The idea that life is an illusion can lead to an obsession with death and self-harm which is very unhealthy and psychologically damaging.
