“Emotional self-defense... When you set healthier relationship standards in your life, some people will take it personally. That’s their issue, not yours. The distance isn’t against them; it’s for you. It’s a boundary, not a grudge.”

“You left me as quickly as you told me you loved me, all in one breath.
When I told you I was hard to love, you asked me not to be scared; I believed you.
Because even after you swore you weren’t like the others, I didn’t realise you meant you were worse.”
― Imperfect Mortals : A Collection of Short Stories

“There is a strange attitude and feeling that one is not yet in real life. For the time being one is doing this or that, but whether it is a woman or a job, it is not yet what is really wanted, and there is always the fantasy that sometime in the future the real thing will come about. If this attitude is prolonged, it means a constant inner refusal to commit oneself to the moment. With this there is often, to a smaller or greater extent, a savior complex, with the secret thought that one day one will be able to save the world; the last word in philosophy, or religion, or politics, or art, or something else, will be found.”
