“i used to live there” is such a sad phrase. seeing places u used to live in is an odd thing. It’s like ‘i know where the best hiding place is in there. my bedroom was the one directly to the left as you walk in. i took my first steps on that flooring. i used to play in that yard with my grandma. she died two years ago. that was the only place i ever knew. those walls contain all of my childhood memories. i can no longer go there, but i know every corner like the back of my hand.’

You’re family, Viktor. Okay?
And there’s nothing, nothing that would make me love you less. -
“How strange it is. We have these deep terrible lingering fears about ourselves and the people we love. Yet we walk around, talk to people, eat and drink. We manage to function. The feelings are deep and real. Shouldn’t they paralyze us? How is it we can survive them, at least for a little while? We drive a car, we teach a class. How is it no one sees how deeply afraid we were, last night, this morning? Is it something we all hide from each other, by mutual consent? Or do we share the same secret without knowing it? Wear the same disguise?”

“Kehne walo ka kuch nahi jaata,
Sehne wale kamaal karte hain
Kaun dhundhe jawaab dardon ke,
Log toh bas sawaal karte hain.”

— Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
[text ID: I wish the world were ending tomorrow. Then I could take the next train, arrive at your doorstep in Vienna, and say, ‘Come with me, Milena. We are going to love each other without scruples or fears or restraint because the world is ending tomorrow.’ ]
