“I did not love you but I almost did. At one time, I might have loved you - at least, I felt I might have. If you were never loved by me, then nevertheless you were loveable to me. Last night I dreamt that your head lay on my stomach and traced the rise and fall of my breath. It felt completely normal - even though I knew once, we had left each other. Even though I knew we had wounded each other. In the dream state, forgiveness comes easily. I never loved you but I almost did. There are days when the breadth of ambiguity feels much worse. There are days I wish I would have loved you so I would know how to stop.”

“The Truth About Monsters:
The truth is this,
every monster you have met or will ever meet,
was once a human being with a soul that was as soft and light as silk.

Someone stole that silk from their soul and turned them into this.

So when you see a monster next, always remember this.
Do not fear the thing before you.
Fear the thing that created it instead.”
― Nikita Gill

“Suffering feels religious if you do it right.”
