“If the past could be changed,
it would not exist.
If the future could be stopped,
it would not survive.
If the present could be avoided,
it would not prevail.

Time is everyone’s acquaintance,
life is everyone’s friend,
death is everyone’s enemy,
and existence is everyone’s soulmate.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“Loneliness is a storm.
Not something relaxing, the pitter patter and distant rumble.
But the annoying pre-storm, wherein lives are boring, and not satisfying.

Hello?
Oh, the car crashed.
It’s sad, that’s so abrasive.
There are no voices in my head anymore,
But I’d welcome the company, you know.

Good thing I have nothing to hide,
So I’ll wait for you, and them.
~”

“They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
