“At moments, the weight of it all became palpable. It was in the air, the stress and misery. Normally, you breathed it in, without noticing it.

Some days, this is how it felt when I was in the hospital: trapped in an endless jungle summer, wet with sweat, the rain of tears of the families of the dying pouring down.”

“My hobbies include: editing my life story, hiding behind metaphors, and trying to convince my shadow that I’m someone worth following.”
