“There was someone, a very long time ago, yes. We couldn’t make it work for reasons I won’t get into, but I felt like I couldn’t breathe without him. I would have done anything to be with him; he changed me. Once you feel like that for someone, everything else pales in comparison.”
― J.A. Rouen

“Living turned me into nothing. Weird... People are born in order to live, right? But the longer I've lived, the more I've lost what's inside me—and ended up empty. And I bet the longer I live, the emptier, the more worthless, I'll become. Something's wrong with this picture. Life isn't supposed to turn out like this! Isn't it possible to shift direction, to change where I'm headed?”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
