“Your heart is factually a part of the universe, which is a miracle of endless force and boundless beauty.
There is literally no way that you are not part of that.
Despair can force you to turn your eyes away from this fact, but it is the real truth and it will be waiting to be with you when you are free enough to turn back to it.”

“even when I am happy, it sometimes happens that the slightest things can tip me into nonspecific sadness when I am alone.”

“It is a certain type of person who feels this way that I feel, and I'm proud to be one, and now I see that I must really not forget that the style of what I find beautiful is incredible to me, that it is incredible to feel lucky to want to want what one wants, to be able to see the rings of yourself this way.”
