Vironika Tugaleva
“They hit me raw, hard, real,
the words you say (and don't)
as I leave to catch my flight.

But in real life airports,
no one is chasing anyone
to ask for a longer story.

And on real life airplanes,
it is too loud for anyone
to hear anyone else cry.”
― Vironika Tugaleva

Grey R.B.
“What can be is not what it is,
And what's possible is not the present. Things we can do is not how we act,
And what we can be is not who we are.”
― Grey R.B., Eclipse: Trapped in Darkness
