“Everyone’s childhood plays itself out. No wonder no one knows the other or can completely understand. By this I don’t know if I’m just giving up with this conclusion or resigning myself — or maybe for the first time connecting with reality.

I think to love bravely is the best and accept — as much as one can bear.”

More people can stand under your umbrella.”
