“Opet sam sam. Možda je i najbolje tako, ne očekuješ pomoć i ne bojiš se izdaje. Sam. Učinit ću sve što mogu, ne uzdajući se u podršku koje nema, i onda je moje sve što postignem, i zlo i dobro.”

The grief would pummel me, and I had no choice except to succumb to it until it passed.”
― Lucinda Berry, Saving Noah

“Home isn't where you're from, it's where you find light when all grows dark.”
