I think one of the greatest horrors of the modern world is that it rendered most of us stuck in survival mode. We are worried about what will happen to us in the next few days and months, wondering whether we will be able to hold onto a floating log to survive the next wave. It’s so cruel when you…

If I could write something to spill out all I want to say, I’d leave the page empty. Why the hell am I writing then? You may ask. For the same reason I do everything I do, for no damn reason. That’s the whole problem, and there’s no problem at all. The thing is, I’m far beyond it, even though…

We were missing colours, from the moment we were painted on that empty canvas, no one saw a thing, so they just painted over us.

I think they were afraid to “hurt your feelings”, that’s why it always happened suddenly without any hints… Your smile is fading slowly, you…

Maybe he’s worried that his eyes will betray him, that his weakness will escape them and perform a frenzied dance to amuse her.
