People criticize a woman who gives up love, yet no one criticizes the man for the same story. The woman bears the blame in love and life.

Regret was a familiar feeling, a comfortable blur of thoughts that felt hopeless.

You could have predicted what happened next - I shouldn't listen to all that fairy-tale crap.

Humanness itself is sometimes pain.

This is what I wanted but somehow, I'm afraid I'm paralyzed by fear that I let myself believe love has won.

It's true, I was afflicted with work, I assure you it obscured the heart. I had become a mere ghost.

I remember what happened after I lost my love, my life of dark winter without passion or depth fizzled out drifting me in black mood.

My veins of ice and such chilliness does not alarm me. I require to be alone.

My split morality. I guess I feel love and violence in me.
