“Yeah...
Expecting others to read your mind is delusional...
But... But...
I... I...
It's not empty words I'm after.
There was something else I desire all along.
Not mutual understanding, friendship, companionship, or anything of the sort. I don't care about being understood.
I simply wish to understand. Understand, know, and rest easy in that knowledge gain some peace of mind. Wanting to know people inside-out!
because being in dark terrifies me is an awfully self-indulgent, egotistic, and arrogant wish. It's downright despicable and disgusting. Having a desire like that makes me sick to the stomach!
But if it's at all possible to share that desire- if it's possible to have a relationship where you're free to burden one another with that repulsive self-gratification...
I know that it's out of the question!
I know that it's out of my reach!
Even so!
Even so,
I...
I...
I want something genuine!”
― Hikigaya Hachiman

“Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
