“Living...... Means having bonds with others. Paying attention to someone. Loving someone. Hating someone. Having fun being with someone. Taking someone’s hand. That’s what it means to live. If you’re all alone, you cant tell that you exist. Your relationship with others, is what defines being alive. I know my mind exists, since I can interact with others. I know my body exists, because others touch me. That’s where the purpose of being alive comes from. Just like we’ve been chosen to live out this moment here and now.”
― Yoru Sumino, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas

“People always think we look for love at our lowest to distract us. I am convinced we do it because we want someone to look us in the eye, to look our ugly in the eye and still choose us. I didn’t want a distraction, I wanted you to see a mess and still find me worthy of love, to tell me that you could still love me anyway.”
― Georges Bataille, The Dead Man

“And in your absence,
I cried like I never did before
I cried with all senses
I cried as if I'm raining
As if I’m melting all at once.”
― Mahmoud Darwish

“But you were the only one who was always just yourself, no matter who was around. What made you appealing wasn't your connections with other people. It was all you , and what you found inside yourself.”
