Hi there! Welcome to my personal blog. This is the place where i post all of my thoughts on the stuff i read, watch and play. This blog mostly serves as a space for me to collect all my thoughts about stuff in one place. Feel free to read them if you enjoy reading my thoughts on the things i like! All of my blogposts are collected and organized under a few pages. Use the following hyperlinks to quickly go to these pages. My thoughts on... Reviews Favorite quotes from...

So this series was actually recommended to me! I was told it was a follow up to All-New Wolverine in a way which got me very excited as I really wanted to see what was next for Laura and Gabby after that incredible run. Not to mention it was a great way for me to get to know a bunch of characters I really didn't know much about, since I haven't really read any mainline X-Men titles before this. All in all this series did not dissapoint whatsoever! I really love the whole setup of this comic and Jean Grey. She isn't really a character I know much about but I'm really loving her characterization in this and how much they explore her, especially in the annual. It's really cool to see her catch up with everything after being dead for such a long time and learning how different the world has become. Her inner monologue in the annual was super interesting to read and it's done is such a well executed way. It really made me wish they would've done the same type of inner monologue for Laura in All-New Wolverine considering it's the same writer. I think the thematics this series covers are very relevant up until this day, especially everything regarding social media and how it's being used to instill hate and fear into people. Jean's plan to heal the world is really sweet (although I admittedly immediatly thought of PS5 Spider-Man 2 even though this comic came first). I love how she uses her powers to make both sides understand each other. The entire reasoning of her X-Men team existing and the mission they're carrying out is super cool and I absolutely love it! The way they explores the themes are very well done and the social commentary is also very poignant albeit very on the nose. Regardless I loved seeing this team come together and rise to protect mutants from hatred and fear. Another thing that was really cool about these first few issues was the world building. I really loved the more political side of the issues where we learn how the world views mutants and how certain countries are less forgiving than others with some of them detaining them for no reason whatsoever. It feels very real because it is very real. I think the worldbuilding in this really showed how the world would look at mutants and what role social media and politics would play in that. it's a super interesting angle that I really like.

It's finally time to talk about Spider-Gwen comics again! I was super excited and hyped when this miniseries first got announced at SDCC and really couldn't wait until the issues started releasing. On top of that a giant sized issue also later on got announced as a follow up to this miniseries which made me even more excited! Now that the series has wrapped up it's finally time to talk about it! I absolutely loved this series and everything it did! For a while now Spider-Gwen comics have had quite a few unresolved plotlines lying around that just have been ignored, however this series finally touches upon a few of them! The two main ones being how Gwen got to live back peacefully on earth 65 after she got forced to 616 due to the Storm siblings, and the major one being MJ Carnage (but more on that later!). It also focussed on a few aspects of Gwen and her stories that haven't had quite the focus in recent miniseries, the main one being her band. It was such a blast seeing her go on tour with her band trying to balance being Ghost-Spider while also being a bandmember and also dealing with some personal stuff. It's such an amazing concept for a series and it worked so well. I'm also very glad that they're following up onto Gwen not feeling at home in her own dimension because it was a really cool plotpoint from the (Spider-Gwen:) Ghost-Spider run and i'm happy they finally zoomed in a bit more on that. It was always a part of that run that hit hard for me so it was great to see it get more attention. Especially now that Gwen has been away from her home dimension for a while. It was so interesting to see her try to find something to make her stay and make her choose her own earth above all the other ones she could go too. And the way she finds that meaning within her band and MJ is so cool. Speaking of the band, I really loved Gwen's dynamic with them in this. It's very in line with her debut run where she has troubles balancing her superhero stuff with the band stuff and while the band does get mad at her, they're always there for her no matter what. And I love that it's still a thing in this miniseries. The Mary Janes are one of my favorite supporting casts in comics so I was super glad to see them get such a focus in this and how their dynamic with Gwen is and evolves throughout the mini.

Now another dynamic I just have to talk about is the one between Gwen and MJ. Let me preface this by saying that i've always felt they had romantic tension going on and that their frustrations with each other came out of a place of love and being unable to understand each other properly. And I am so so glad that this mini series finally acknowledges that romantic tension in such a big way while also continuing the MJ Carnage plotline. I really love how they built up Gwen's and MJ's dynamic, even with small moments like the scene in #1 where they peform at the same place where the Gwenom vs Carnage battle took place in 616 and MJ reminds Gwen of that and how this time it's just them and the music. Moments like these were so great and genuine and I just loved them. #3 is when things really get exciting as MJ is finally more upfront regarding her feelings for Gwen (even towards Gloria whom she's currently still dating, I know akward situation!). And wants to talk with Gwen about it before getting kidnapped. It's also a really big issue as Gwen finally finds out MJ has a crush on her all while growing closer towards her band. This is a bit of a side tangent but I really liked the dynamic between Gwen and Gloria and how there was a lot of jealousy at play due to MJ. Was really well done in my opinion. Now back on topic, #4 and Giant-Size also were great for finally advancing the dynamic between Gwen and MJ. Gwen fighting against MJCarnage while MJ rants out her deepest frustrations about Gwen was so cool and I loved that they kept that part from Gwenom vs Carnage, as it was a thing I actually loved about that mini. The moment during that fight that really stood out to me is when MJ is ranting about Gwen not knowing her truly and not caring for her with Gwen replying that if MJ thinks she doesn't care for her it's MJ that actually doesn't know her truly. Small moment but really sweet as it once again shows how much these two truly care about each other even if they don't always express it in healthy ways. The way the 4th issue ends with it being implied that Gwen is open to trying to make a relationship work made me so happy! I really think these two deserve their happy ending together while finally being upfront with each other and leaving the bottled up frustrations due to not understanding each other behind. I really really hope future writers of her comics take this plotpoint and explore it further (hopefully in her ongoing later this year) and make Gwen and MJ finally have that talk they've been wanting to have. Especially with how things end for them in giant size (but more on that later). Another really cool thing about this mini was all the new earth 65 counterparts of iconic 616 characters. It's one of my favorite things about earth 65 and it once again delivered with Dazzler, Black Widow and Bruce Banner. I really loved Gwen's friendship with Dazzler and hope we see them team up again in the future. Black Widow was also a really cool take on the character that's very familiar yet different (i absolutely love her design in this!). I love that she has a certain mystique to her and we don't know the full extent of who she truly is. She's powerful that's for sure, knowing that she was responsible for the Storm siblings leaving Gwen alone. Bruce Banner was also super interesting, admittedly he did came over very cliché but when you read his dialogue a few times you notice he's actually a very intriguing villain with a very interesting view on the world. I wish we would've seen more of him as I truly think he has a lot of potential. The big thing I love about his character is how it subverts the Hulk. Instead of being this angry monster the Hulk is actually the good side while Banner is the bad side. It's such a simple twist yet it works so well. I really hope we'll see more of him!

It's time for the finale of this run! I've had such an amazing time with this run that it's sad to see it come to an end. However i'm glad that i got to read it because it was such an awesome ride!

These last 5 issues had a lot of variety in them! I'm so glad we got to see a Gabby & Deadpool team up issue, they're super fun together and their chemistry is just amazing. I loved how also gave us some more info on Jonathan and where he came from. I'm super glad they rememberd the universal translator he got from the Guardians Of The Galaxy. It was so cool seeing them take upon an army of zombie animals and get revenge for Jonathan. Super fun issue! I love how this run just has these small stories inbetween arcs that just really makes you appreciate these characters so much. Also RIP Penagos The Pelican Statue :( one of my favorite running gags in this run.

The follow up issue on orphans of x was really cool too. I love how it gave us some more context regarding Laura's first mission at the facility and how they mirrored the way that day went for Amber and Laura. Super interesting stuff. It was really cool to see them team up and take upon the final remaining threads responsible for that assination. I do wish the issue would've been a bit longer as I think it could've used the extra few pages nicely. But regardless it was a cool issue and I love how it gave more context about Laura's first mission.

The Old Woman Laura arc was certainly an interesting choice to close off this run. I'm not sure how I feel about the decision to close out the run with future alternate timeline versions of Laura & Gabby. Don't get me wrong I loved the arc but I feel like the final arc should've been focussed on present day Laura & Gabby although on the other hand I kind of like it because it makes it a complete story for Laura start to finish (even though it's an alternate universe). Because it kind of makes it a complete experience from her first mission to her very last in this amazing tetrology that consists out of X-23 (2005), X-23: Target X (2006), X-23 (2010), All-New Wolverine (2015). Like having read all of them it's such an complete experience. It's really rare I feel for a character to get such consistent storytelling and characterization throughout a decade. Where all runs just perfectly follow up on each other and very much keep in mind the history of the character. So in that sense I do like it as the final arc, because it just gives you her complete story with a potential end point for her in the future. But still I do wish we would've at least gotten one more issue that just focusses on Laura and Gabby and maybe some reflection about their journey together and how far they've come.

Now speaking about the Old-Woman Laura arc itself! It was so cool to see a potential future for Laura and Gabby and how despite all the change they've went through they still retain some core elements like the pelican statue or Gabby's favorite food being the 25 in one. Speaking of Gabby, her Wolverine suit is SO COOL. Like lightsaber claws? That's so awesome! Really loved the design of that suit so much. It was also very interesting to see all the world building in this alternate universe/timeline. Kamala Khan being President, the Doom War, Madripoor being ruled by Laura. Really cool stuff! I loved the team she assembled for her final mission. Captain Marvel had such a cool design in this as well. I really love how the final mission was to free Bellona and kill Doom, I'm glad they haven't forgotten about her and I hope she shows up in future comics somewhere down the line because she's a very interesting character. It was so interesting to learn about what happened to all the presumed dead heroes in the Doom war and what Doom's fate was. The most emotional part of this final arc was definitely the ending. I love how Gabby just doesn't allow Laura to break her promise of never leaving her behind. It's so sweet and heartwarming. And the final line of this book made me cry a little because it's such a perfect line to end Laura's story with, i'm kinda tearing up again thinking about it!

As I'm nearing the end of this run with this second last arc I'm continuing to love absolutely each second reading this run. This arc in particular is incredibly strong and such a perfect sequel to her previous runs!

I really loved the entire story of this arc. It's so well done! It's super intriguing to see what ended up happening to all the victims that Laura and every other Wolverine ever made. It definitely feels like a logical thing to happen. Laura returning to the facility after all those years was such a hardhitting moment, especially because of the art. Seeing her walk through the abadoned halls of the facility while seeing flashbacks of her time between those halls just hit so hard. I was super shocked when her mother showed up but at the same time you just knew there was something off. Which then gets confirmed, I didn't expect it to be a soulless clone controlled from a distance though! Which was a bit haunting and also ironic at the same time, the woman who helped turn a child into a weapon being turned into a weapon herself.

I'm super happy Megan and Deborah have a relatively big role in this arc, i'm so glad they're spending more time of them because we really needed to see their full fledged reunion! The conversation between Laura and Megan at the beach made me tear up a bit because it was a clear parallel to their convo on the docks in X-23: Target X (2006) and it was just so emotional to see them sit down alone together and still have that strong bond despite years having passed and both of them being their own person now. It was such an emotional and heartwarming moment. Their trip to Japan was super cool and fun too! I love how Gabby was so overinvested in the disguises. It was really awesome to see them create a defense against those letal bullets they made from that sword i don't know how to spell properly (it's crazy how many bullets they were able to make out of that sword though!). It was also really compelling to see Gabby experience pain for the first when they take a part of her soul for the armor. The way she couldn't imagine people having to live with pain was so interesting and really adds a lot more perspective to her character. The new suit armor they ended making for Laura was SO COOL. I litterally jumped when I turned the page and they revealed the armor. It looks so badass!

The finale of this arc was incredibly strong. Them learning more about the orphans of x and realizing they're all victims of the same people was so good and super well done. i was so shocked when it was revealed it was Sutter's son who was one of the people behind the organisation and how Amber was the child of a security guard that got killed when Laura killed the presidential candidate back in X-23 (2005). It was so cool how they tied it back all the way to that and how it really adds more perspective to how lethal Laura was during her time at the facility. I really love when they take the time to explore how the victims of Laura's time at the facility ended up. Laura's talk with Sutter was so good and probably the highlight of the arc. I love how how much character development it shows. She no longer blames herself for her time at the facility, she isn't having any of it about anyone putting all the stuff she had to do during that time on her. She rightfully tells all the orphans of x who the real enemy is and how they're all victims of the system (a lot of symbolism here in this part of the arc which i really loved). While also taking responsibility & accountability for who she is used to be and how she wants to make it up and help them put anyone responsible for their hurt behind bars. ITS SO GOOD. I absolutely loved this arc!

I've arrived on the fourth arc of this run! This arc definitely felt a lot different compared to the rest of the run, especially tonally. It's a lot more serious and grander in scale, but it still retains its comedic aspects.

The beginning of this arc felt really similar to the first arc of Kelly Thompson's Captain Marvel (even though that run came way later than this one so technically it's the opposite way around!) in the sense that we're dealing with Roosevelt Ssland being completely cut off from the rest of the world and it's up to our heroes to figure out everything. The intro leading up to the impact of the alien ship was super cool with the play by play narration. It was also really cool to see Laura and Gabby in their new suits, it makes sense they go for bulletproof suits given how much the bullets slow them down even with a healing factor. I really like how Laura's suit is very much inspired by the X-force look while also being a more casual outfit with the jacket and stuff, it's a super cool design, I absolutely love it! Gabby's new suit also just matches her personality completely. Solid designs all around!

It was really cool to see them slowly uncover the mystery behind the alien saying Laura's name and the virus it carried. I will say the whole healing factor healing everyone part felt kinda messy at times but it did make for a really cool team-up with Laura, Gabby, Deadpool, Old Man Logan and Daken. I really loved that part of this arc and how Iron Heart comments on them all being trained to be weapons and here they are helping everyone. That part was so good and really made the team up hit a lot harder. The friendship between Deadpool and Gabby was so sweet, I really need them to team up again! They're such gremlins together! It was also really heartbreaking to see Gabby being hit with the reality check that she can't save everyone and how serious it all is. It was such a moment for her character because she just completely breaks down and you don't see that often with her. I kind of wished they would've spent more time on it.

The part where they team up with the Guardians Of The Galaxy was when things started taking a crazy turn. I really like Laura's and Gabby's dynamic with them. It was a really fun team up! Also it's so cool how they finally gave Jonathan a translator and how he immediatly thanks Laura and Gabby for taking him in, that was such a wholesome moment. The brood parts made for some really fun action sequences and Gabby defying a brood infection was absolutely crazy to see, considering how usually once infected you're gone. The truth behind the entire situation and virus was also interesting to see play out.

I do feel this arc didn't have the same "vibe" as the other ones. I feel it's partially because Laura is a lot more serious in this arc than the previous one. I do wish they would've opened this arc by continuing her reunion with Megan and Deborah, because I really wanted to see more of that. Especially with how much emotion is behind that moment knowing the entire story behind it.

As I have arrived at the third arc of this run i'm very happy to see them keep all of Laura's history in mind while actively using it as a foundation for new stories. It was really fun to see all the little callbacks to her previous runs in this arc and how in a lot of ways this arc is a very big full circle moment for her!

I really love how this arc deals with the final pieces of Laura's past that still haunt and control her. It was so cool to see it tie into her older runs so well. Madripoor, Kimura, Gambit, etc… Was super cool to see all of those elements of her 2010 run come back. The opening issue to this arc was so crazy, Laura killing off an entire town was so brutal to see. It was kind of sad to see her completely return to her fight or flight reaction when it comes to being confronted with the trigger scent. Like her planning on leaving Gabby behind even after promising to never leave her earlier in the run in what was a really emotional moment. It truly shows how much trauma and fear the trigger scent instills into her. It was really sweet to see her bring along Gabby regardless though (also extremely funny how the pelican statue travelled with them wherever they went). It was nice to see Madripoor back and all the references to the 2010 X-23 run. I was so hyped when Gambit showed up, it was so cool to see them reunite again! I loved how they finally dealt with the trigger scent and the way Laura overcame it. Jean going into her mind and having a conversation with her mind in the place it goes whenever she gets taken over by the trigger scent is absolutely one of the best moments of this series. Jean's dialogue being the opposite of what Kimura said to her while the Pinocchio symbolism is being told in the background was so good and extremely well executed. I am so happy they remembered the symbolism in that story and how it was utilized in her first ever mini series. And it's such an amazing full circle moment that said pinocchio story is one of the pieces that makes her overcome the final bit of control the facility ever instilled into her. It's super sweet that in retrospect Sarah telling Laura that story had the exact effect she wanted to and more. The entire sequence is genuinely so well written and one of the absolute highlights of this run. It was also so cool to all of her friends team up with her to fight against Kimura, it once again shows how far she has come as a person. I really loved their entire plan. Iron Laura was super cool! Her final fight with Kimura was also just amazing, her finally overcoming her abuser in such a badass way and really showing who she truly is while no longer being affraid of Kimura was such a marvelous moment. I was so happy for her to see that she no longer has to live in fear for her, and that she finally overcame her biggest enemy and source of fear. Her reuniting with Deborah and Megan had me so emotional. I am so so happy she got to reunite with them and that they didn't forgot about them. It was the perfect way to end this arc. I just love that in the end she was able to be reunited with them, no longer having to fear anyone. Their goodbye in X-23: Target X (2006) was such a heartbreaking moment so it's super emotional to see them finally be reunited again after such a long time.

The reveal that Bellona was actually behind the murders in the town was really surprising. And it actually works really well with how Laura's mindset is towards the trigger scent. She feels like she is in a locked room when in reality the door has always been open. Like from the moment she knew they were dropping the trigger scent she incapacitated herself making sure no one would get hurt. She's so much stronger and smarter than she thinks honestly.

As I'm continuing this series I'm having an absolute blast with it! It definitely one of the funniest comic series I've read so far as I have never laughed out loud so much before with a comic. Gabby continues to be absolutely hilarious all while Laura is absolutely thriving!

I love that they keep drawing parallels between Logan's and Laura's relationship and Laura's and Gabby's relationship. These parallels once again made me very emotional becayse you just see how Laura realizes that she is to Gabby what Logan was to her and how she wants to do a better job. I love that they further explore the complicated dynamic between Laura and Logan. The whole alternate timeline logan was also really interesting to see. Especially how Laura experiences the whole situation and stuff. I also really liked the whole angle with predicting future crimes and where Laura stands on acting upon that information. She very much knows that only you make your own future and I love how they show that here. I also really like all the subtle callbacks to her past (comic runs) in this arc. It's really neat to see and I'm glad they're keeping all that stuff in mind. It's so fun to see a mentally healthy Laura who has grown from her past and learned a lot from it use that knowledge to be better. I do kind of wish that they would explore her a bit deeper in this run because I definitely imagine she still has some stuff that haunts her at night and that there are some interesting angles you can explore with her taking on the Wolverine mantle. But perhaps in one of the future arcs that might happen. I can't complain though because i've been having a blast with this run!

Gabby is starting to become a very interesting character, especially with the whole alternate timeline from the old man Logan. I really wonder what the deal was in that timeline and what happened for things to go so wrong. But I love that Laura doesn't give in and believes in Gabby. Because she knows how important that is. Gabby showing her powers and Laura being happy for her was such a sweet moment. They're such an amazing duo!

It's time for more Laura Kinney as I start All-New Wolverine! This run has been on my list ever since I read All-New Wolverine Annual #1 as part of my read of Spider-Gwen 2015. So I'm super excited to dive into this run, especially after having read her previous X-23 mini series and ongoing. She's fastly becoming one of my all time favorite characters as I read through all her comics!

I really liked this first arc a lot! The mystery surrounding the four sisters was so cool and even after this arc it seems that there still are some things that they're hiding. Super excited to see where it'll all go. Seeing Laura in action as Wolverine was so awesome, I really like how they draw action and fight scenes in this. It's so clean! Not mention how badass her Wolverine suit looks. I also love how much Laura has grown, you can clearly see that she's in a much better place mentally than how she used to be. Like she has had so much growth and i'm so happy for her that she finally gets to live a relatively healthy life without constantly being tormented by her own mind. It's also interesting that she has a no kill rule now. I wonder if she'll keep that up or if she will end up breaking it. The little flashback in the first issue between her and Wolverine was super sweet and I teared up when they mirrored that flashback with Laura and Gabby. It's such a strong moment because Laura has been through so much and now she finally is free from all that and she knows she can help someone else who went through the same things as her and prevent them from going through the same trauma's and mistakes as she did. Another reason it hit so hard was because Laura is literally talking to a clone of herself that that's mentally a lot healthier than her and didn't have to go through so much gruesome things (even though she still very much went through a lot of very terrible stuff). It must be really hardhitting for her to see a younger version of herself that's happy and content and isn't constantly suffering. it also makes we wonder if that will affect Laura in the sense that she sees this younger version of herself that also went through a lot of terrible stuff but ended up being a happy and good person, whereas Laura didn't in her own eyes. A lot of people told her that her past isn't her fault but I wonder if she will think otherwise after seeing Gabby go through similar stuff and ending up being a lot happier and well adjusted. But that's just a bit of speculating on my part. Who knows, maybe Gabby is going through some tough stuff we don't know about yet. But all by all It's such a hardhitting moment for so many reasons and also such a full circle moment for Laura, genuinely my favorite moment of this first arc I think. Laura's confrontation with Chandler was also so awesome and badass, such an amazing moment for her.

Speaking of Gabby, she's so much fun! She's such a top tier character already. She has so many memorable moments in these first few issues. I am so excited to see the dynamic between Laura and Gabby evolve throughout this run because it's so good already. Also it seems like she inherited the claw(s?) from Wolverine despite it being claimed that they didn't. Excited to see what's that all about.

As I'm continuing my read through of the X-23 comics, it's time for X-23: Deadly Regenesis! This mini takes place between the first few issues of the 2010 X-23 run and fills up some gaps. It was really interesting to see how it showed us more of what Laura was doing on the road before Gambit teamed up with her and what she was dealing with.

I really liked how it explored more of her time on the road after leaving Utopia while also having more tidbits of her at the facility with Kimura. It was really neat to have more exploration of that. Especially with Kimura, because I feel like she's Laura's nemesis and she really deserves more exploration because of that. So i'm glad we got to see more of their dynamic in this and be explored more. I also loved how this mini gave more gravitas to all the killing Laura has done during her time at the facility by showing what impact it had on innocent people through the story of Haymaker. I do wish they had leaned into that angle more. But more on that later. Something I also really loved is how well this mini ties into Laura's other stories during this time period. Especially Liu's run of X-23!

I also liked how this story revolved around Kingpin wanting Laura back for his own plans. It's a nice butterfly effect from her time at the facility. And I think it makes a lot of sense to have buyers from then try to hunt her down. I will say, It was kind of weird to see the absence of the trigger scent in this and instead there being a chemical that temporarily removes her healing factor. Especially because they want Laura due to what she can do and they need to condition her again to make her do those things again. So it's really weird to see them not opt to use the trigger scent to make her comply. I'm a bit conflicted as to how I feel on Laura's characterization in this. One on hand I feel it's very in line with how she was during the time this mini takes place and expands upon some of it. I really loved the whole thing of her being able to heal physical wounds but not mental ones angle they had going on. And how she questions if her actions after leaving the facility were any different from her time during. Was a really interesting thought Laura was dealing with. Although I think they should've gone deeper with everything especially given her mental state during that time. I do love how a lot of Laura's dialogue in this is internal monologue, because during the timeperiod of this mini she really wasn't very talkative. I love that they kept that in mind. One the other hand I feel some of her characterization in this isn't really in line with how she was during that time or isn't really consistent. Especially the whole heroism thing and her thoughts regarding killing. I feel like during this time period she wasn't really busy thinking about being an actual hero but more about finding herself and becomming a better person, I did like the tidbits where she finds herself not to be worthy of being called a hero because those parts are very in line with how she was at that time and how she viewed herself. Her thoughts on killing are very weird in this, some of it is in line with how she was at the time but some of it is really isn't. Like she spares all of Kingpin's guards but feels like Kingpin himself deserves to be killed. It was really weird to see her conciously decide to spare his guards because I feel like it's definitely something she wouldn't have done. Her dynamic with Haymaker is also a bit strange and a missed opportunity. In Liu's run you see her struggle quite a lot trying to face the victim of whom she killed the parents of. And here she kinda gets over it quite fast. I wished they would've spent more time on exploring her guilt and what seeing a victim of her past does to her. As I mentioned before I really liked Haymaker, it's a character that gives Laura's past as a weapon a lot more gravitas and allows you to see how much it affected innocent people's lives. They're an interesting character for sure. I mentioned I found Laura's dynamic with them a bit strange, but the opposite direction is also true. Haymaker gets over Laura being responsible for a lot of their suffering quite fast and isn't really reluctant to team up with her. I feel that a lot more time should've been spent on their dynamic as they could have done some interesting stuff with it.

"The first thing you learn is how to be alone. You learn or suffer. It is an easy lesson. You suffer more when people are around. People make you feel alone. And loneliness is a quiet wound." -Laura Kinney "I am not alone, I am not empty. There is a light inside me. I caught a glimpse of it. I held it. And I will find it again." -Laura Kinney
