Quote by Ezinne Orjiako, Nkem.

“This is how apathy goes: First, old joys become new sorrows. Then all your mornings in bed transcend into eternities. Your best friend no longer calls because the new self is unrecognizable. And your father. Your father feels unfamiliar because you are growing and he is not.”

“We are all transformed by stardust, say both the wisest and most unhinged scholars of our day. Therefore, if one could be transported to the stars, one could reform her body and her mind and become a person different than the flawed wretch she currently is. It is a risky proposition, trusting the fickle cosmic winds to better a terrestrial, mortal body, but what is magic if not a declaration that one no longer cares?”
