“Do you think it’s possible that some people are born to give more love than they will ever get back in return?”

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.

“The secrets inside her mind are like flowers in a garden at nighttime, filling the darkness with perfume.”

I've noticed that people love to hurry. Meals are always quick, coffees are never savoured, glances are fleeting, conversations brief and it feels like this is becoming normal, that people only expect surface level and they only strive for surface level in all aspects of life. Mediocre coffee. Luke-warm love. Convenience. Because life is scary and when you sit with it long enough, and really listen to the silence, you notice what you're missing, and some of what we miss, we know we will never be able to find again.

Jim Carrey once said:

“No writer in our time has been more isolated than Kafka, and yet few have achieved communication as well as he did.”
