As I see it, you are living with something that you keep hidden deep inside. Something heavy. I felt it from the first time I met you.

— Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 (via selfinspiration)

I’m lonely. And I’m lonely in some horribly deep way and for a flash of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic.
