“Maybe she was better at pretending than I'd given her credit for. Or maybe I was the one pretending.” Quote by Sasha Harding
“I was sober enough to have a conscience, but not sober enough to actually use it. Trapped in this numb body, floating somewhere between clarity and oblivion.” PhilosophyLossGriefFamilyRelationshipEmotionalIsolationExistentialismLiterary Fiction Author:Sasha Harding
“It wasn't the first time I had relied on her in our strange, undefined 'relationship.' Late-night texts, spontaneous meet-ups, testing boundaries—most of the time, she did bite. But this? This felt different. It wasn't just curiosity or intrigue anymore. I wasn't just waiting to see how far I could push her. I needed her. I wanted her in a way I couldn't fully explain, in a way that went far beyond anything I'd felt before.” PhilosophyLossGriefFamilyRelationshipEmotionalIsolationExistentialismLiterary Fiction Author:Sasha Harding
“The rest of the evening unfolded in a gentle, unspoken rhythm. We didn’t rush through anything. We didn’t need to. There was comfort in the quiet moments between us. I didn’t feel the need to fill the space with words, and neither did she. I didn’t have to be anywhere or do anything right now. For once, I was just... here. And that was enough. The world outside continued to spin, I let myself sink into the moment, the steady rhythm of her breathing, and for once, I didn’t have to wonder if I was doing the right thing. I just had to believe it.” PhilosophyLossGriefFamilyRelationshipEmotionalIsolationExistentialismLiterary Fiction Author:Sasha Harding
“I deliberate on whether the morning would bring a golden sun, melting the thick snow at the foot of the house, turning ice to rivulets down the stone steps. Or if winter would keep its hold, the chill climbing steadily up the windows, pressing cold fingers against the glass, trying to find its way inside. I wondered if the frost would cling to the dubstep or if it had already settled within.” PhilosophyLossGriefFamilyRelationshipEmotionalIsolationExistentialismLiterary Fiction Author:Sasha Harding
“I love you."The words slipped from my lips into the cold air—small, fragile, real. Her breath hitched, the first real reaction I'd received from her all evening. My heart hammered in my chest, as I waited. Half of me was hoping she'd say it back, but the other half was terrified that I had said it too soon. Perhaps I had—perhaps I had ruined something. But there was no doubt in my mind. If there was one thing I was certain of in this world, it was that I loved her. Completely. Undeniably.” PhilosophyLossGriefFamilyRelationshipEmotionalIsolationExistentialismLiterary Fiction Author:Sasha Harding
“And something—something was terribly, terribly wrong.” PhilosophyLossGriefFamilyRelationshipEmotionalIsolationExistentialismLiterary Fiction Author:Sasha Harding
“અમૂક સમય પછી દરેક રિલેશનશિપ ‘બોરિંગ’ થઈ જાય છે. આ એક એવું સત્ય છે, જે આપણને કોઈ નથી કહેતું. શરૂઆતમાં ગમ્મે તેટલો આહલાદક અને રોમાંચક કેમ ન હોય, દરેક સંબંધ ધીમે ધીમે શાંત, અનઈવેન્ટફૂલ કે કંટાળાજનક બની જાય છે. ધેટ્સ ઓકે. એનો અર્થ એ નથી કે એમાં રહેલો પ્રેમ લુપ્ત થઈ જાય છે. એનો અર્થ એમ કે પ્રેમ પરિપક્વ થતો જાય છે. જગતનો કોઈ સંબંધ આજીવન ‘હનીમૂન ફેઝ’માં નથી રહેતો. અને રહેવો પણ ન જોઈએ. જો એ કંટાળાજનક તબક્કામાં નહીં પ્રવેશે, તો પ્રેમમાં ઊંડાણ, ધીરજ, અને સ્થિરતા કઈ રીતે આવશે ? આ ‘બોરિંગ’ તબક્કામાં જ સંબંધોનું સ્થાયીકરણ થાય છે. A relationship settles down in stillness. અશુધ્ધિઓ ત્યારે જ તળિયે બેસે છે જ્યારે જળ શાંત થઈ જાય છે. એ કદાચ મોનોટોનસ કે નીરસ લાગી શકે, પણ એ સાધારણ લાગતી ક્ષણોમાં જ અસાધારણ પ્રેમનો ઉછેર થતો હોય છે.” RelationshipsRelationshipGujaratiNimit Oza Author:Dr. Nimit Oza
