Status Updates From Aufzeichnungen eines Krokodils

Part of me has been secretly hoping that good things do last forever, but it's time to renounce that hope. I looked across the water, and as my tears fell, I told myself. "You can't hold on to a beautiful thing forever—not in your memory, not even if you keep loving it. If you tried, it would only die in your possession. Beauty must be free to run its course."

"There are some sorrows so great they are unspeakable, taking hold in the body and leaving a void after the fact. There are some depths that love can never again reach. The mind anoints every fossil with significance in an attempt to preserve it—but in time, they all invariably turn to dust.
Man's greatest sorrow is the loss of what was once his greatest desire."
