You’ll be surprised if you find out what kind of person I am. You know?
You know. I’m a scary person. I won’t even blink if I was stabbed in the stomach. But… you scare me. I get nervous when you’re in front of me. And that annoys me because it makes me feel like an idiot. But even though it annoys me… I still wait for you. Okay….
You should know, Yeom Mi-jeong, you should know who you are.
~ My Liberation Notes (2022)

“May, I love you with everything I am. For so long, I just wanted to be like you. But I had to figure out that I am someone too, and now I can carry you, your heart with mine, everywhere I go.”

Ava Dellaira, Love Letters to the Dead

In May, anything seemed possible. If only I could learn to harness time itself. To make every month like May! Or, perhaps, to live backward in time, so that whenever the end of the month arrived, I could turn May right around and live it all over again.

- T.A. Barron, The Lost Years (Merlin, #1)

I wanted “peace,” to be left alone in my underground world. Real life oppressed me with its novelty so much that I could hardly breathe.

~ Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground
