“I'm lonely,
Yes! I'm so lonely.
I'm Just a sad tear that came out of the depths of pain.
I have neither friend nor a lover.
I live in an empty dark shell.
Punctuated by the lights of my dreams.
I hear a whisper. I hear an echo.
Why everything I love in this world.
It's expensive, or it makes me sad.
Beyond my shell, there is an empty world.
A world filled with hatred and lies.
A world filled with vanity and treason.
A world filled with injustice and selfishness.
There is a noise in my silence, but I shout quietly.
So as to your pure heart can hear me.
I tried to escape from my bitter reality.
A reality that walks against my dreams.
I found out that sleep is my best shelter.
Because life is easy when eyes are closed.
So I give up my eyes, and went to sleep.
Then suddenly!
I felt a call, something tried to wake me up.
I felt whispers caressing my soul.
That together we stand, divided we fall.
That you are the king of my thrown,
And only beside you, I feel like I have everything.
I love you my shell, my home.”
― Eyden I., Kiss Friendzone Goodbye

“I just managed to go around with one of the Great Spells in my head for years without going insane, didn't I?' He considered the last question form all angles.
'Yes, you did,' he reassured himself. 'You didn't start talking to trees, even when trees started talking to you.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Light Fantastic

“All your life you've been hurt, and it's the things you loved the most that hurt the most when you lost them. Everywhere you turn, even when the eyes that look back at you are just like yours, you know you're the stranger. You can't tell others how you really feel, because you know they'll laugh. And when you sleep, you can feel the hole inside you, because you know that no matter what you do, you'll always be different, and this world hates different. So you close your eyes, and you wonder if it would really be all that bad if you never woke up. Maybe in the next world, you'll find a way to fill the hole. But eventually, you open your eyes, and it's a new day, and you brush yourself off and try to make the best of things before you lie down to sleep and think it all over again.”
― Aaron Burdett, Grump & Rose

“It fascinated me how depression and anxiety overlap with post-traumatic stress disorder. Had we been through some trauma we didn't know about? Was the noise and speed of modern life the trauma for our caveman brains? Was I that soft? Or was life a kind of war most people didn't see?”
― Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive
