"erst ganz am anfang und spüre schon wieder so viel ekel und fassungslosigkeit, wozu dieser mann in der lage war… kenne den fall zwar schon, da ich auch bereits „und ich werde dich nie wieder papa nennen“ gehört habe - aber glaube es macht mich jedes mal wieder sprachlos!" — Apr 22, 2026 11:47AM

“Some books should be tasted,some devoured but only few should be chewed and digested thouroughly”

“Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.”
― The Light in the Heart

“We never really talked much or even looked at each other, but it didn't matter because we were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe even more intimate than eye contact anyway. I mean, anybody can look at you. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see.”

“To be alive is to be missing.”

“You just, like, hate yourself? You hate being yourself?"
"There's no self to hate. It's like, when I look into myself, there's no actual me—just a bunch of thoughts and behaviors and circumstances. And a lot of them just don't feel like they're mine. They're not things I want to think or do or whatever. And when I do look for the, like, Real Me, I never find it. It's like those nesting dolls, you know? The ones that are hollow, and then when you open them up, there's a smaller doll inside, and you keep opening hollow dolls until eventually you get to the smallest one, and it's solid all the way through. But with me, I don't think there is one that is solid. They just keep getting smaller.”
