Quote by Anoir Ou-chad

“Solitude is like a sharpener. It makes you rotate against the blade edge, shaving away your worn surfaces. After some time, you come out sharp and dandy.”

“I wasn’t empty because others abandoned me, but because I had abandoned myself. Who I am was repressed—collateral damage in a long-term coping mechanism gone unchecked. My subconscious had put up partitions to contain the flood of emotion in the wake of trauma, but in doing so, my identity was trapped and locked away as well. As a result, everything repressed would one day come forward—without warning, without control, and without a shutoff valve.”

“That's a fine character to have in the family if there's somebody fun and patient around to balance things out, but nobody wants their ONLY friend to be like that. So, for the first time in ten years, there was nothing around but me. I thought that's what I wanted. But when the relief wore off, it was actually a little weird not having anything around that wanted to interact with me. This was confusing, but in a way, I kind of missed it. I think what I'm trying to describe is loneliness. I felt pretty offended by it. I mean, what am I -- some clueless animal who needs love and companionship? As it turns out, yes -- that is what kind of animal I am. I just never realized it before because there was enough ambient love and companionship around to make it seem like maybe I don't have needs, and that's why it doesn't feel like I need anything. Experiencing real loneliness for the first time is like realizing the only thing you've ever loved is your home planet after migrating to the moon.”

“(...) omdat er een dag komt, veel eerder dan je voor mogelijk houdt, dat zielsverwant een woord is dat je uit aardigheid tegen elkaar zegt en niet noodzakelijkerwijs omdat het waar is, dat er een tijd komt dat je of niemand meer hebt om naartoe te fietsen of dat je niet meer genoeg tijd hebt omdat te doen. Een dag waarop niemand meer thuis is.”
