Kristian Ventura
“Exhaustion and being overworked are treated as expected, ordinary experiences. A person’s value is tied to what they produce rather than intrinsic equality. Your very heartbeat is governed by the command: “Produce economic value, or lose access to safety.” That detachment from society quietly teaches us that our existence must first be justified before it can be sustained. Is that not dehumanizing? No singular person is trying to violently hurt or hate you, but we are far from mercy. This is abandonment.”
― Kristian Ventura, The Price of Being Human

Lokesh Tuli
“I'll tell you the absolute worst thing about grief.

It's waking up in the morning, and for one split second, you forget.

Your mind is clear. And then... bam. It hits you all over again.You start realizing that no matter how many years roll by, those absences... they don't ever get smaller.

You just get a hell of a lot better at carrying the weight.
It's a heavy load.

You start missing old versions of people, of moments, and even of yourself that's just gone.

And it ain't ever gonna exist the same way again.”
― Lokesh Tuli, Notes From Exile: The "Manual for the Broken”
