To me... she was spring. It was as if while imprisoned inside the dark cage of the inner family... I had completely frozen into snow... and then there she was – fresh, clear spring. It was almost inevitable that... I would fall in love with her. -Hatori.
It’s okay. Calm down. Listen. We never asked you to do more than you can handle, and we’re not going to. There’s a difference between trying your best and trying too hard. When you want help, ask for help. And quit... apologizing for everything!
I was so amazed at your stupidity that words failed me.
The greatest regret I have in this life... is that that creature came out of my body.
I know. Just like there are kind places- I know. I know I haven’t made it out of this yet. It’s not over. It will come back again and again. The crushing injustice will keep harassing me. It will try to swallow me up. I hate this... it’s hard... but even so, I’m done with looking down. Your life is yours, and yours alone.
I want to live my life without troubling anyone. That’s why it’s best for me to keep my interactions... with others to the bare minimum... not that I’ve ever been the type of person to attract other people... but if I keep my distance... at least I won’t bother anyone.
In the end, I’m always like this. Whether I get involved with people or not... before I know it, I’ve done something wrong and made someone upset. I’m even disappointing myself. How many times? How many more times do I have to let myself down for this to stop?
I was just... a little desperate. I was fed up with repeating the same mistakes day after day.
I think... there were a lot of instances where I avoided people to protect myself. I wouldn’t bother anyone that way. If I don’t know anything, if I don’t take an interest in anything, if I don’t get involved in anything... I won’t have to go through unnecessary pain. But... at the same time, I might have kept myself from seeing... things that were very important... by always looking down. Even things I really... really... wanted...
If it were that simple... to change yourself completely... no one would suffer. But even so... this is hope. Even if it was just a tiny bit... I definitely felt it.
I wanted people to notice me... but at the same time, I wanted to be left alone.
It’s not because I don’t like people that I don’t go. I search for a compromise within myself... and while I’m busy thinking about it, I miss my chance... every time.
I’m going to keep my head up. I’m the one... who will forge my path in life.
Every night greets the dawn. There is no night that goes on forever.
Just as all good things, happy things, fun things must come to an end... scary and sad things will also come to an end. Always. Even if you can’t believe it when it happens, please... please don’t give up. Live. I want you to live. You might make mistakes or lose your way... but please... please live. Don’t ever stop moving forward. Please... that’s all I ask. Don’t give up. Even if... I’m no longer at your side.
I do want to be with him. Not being able to... breaks my heart. It breaks my heart.
When did I start feeling like my name had a special ring to it whenever you called out to me? When did I start doing dumb stuff over and over again, as long as I knew it would make you smile. When did I start... loving you so much I couldn’t stand it?
Just as there’s rejection in this world, there are people who will reach out to you.
If only we’d been born into a kind world... without anxiety... without fear. If we could live without hurting other people... and without being hurt. A world in which we always did what was right. If only we could have found a shortcut to the kind world we all hope for.
Even if you don’t have hope right now, I promise it will come to you again. Again and again, hope will always bloom.
