At times, I seemed to suffer spells of depression and loneliness, longing to become healthy again; of going out and facing a world of injustices, of misery, of widespread indifference.","author":"Lawrence G.

I feel like I watch people and I wonder why they do things. Especially when it comes to love and relationships: most of the time I am thinking 'Why are they together when they are not meant to be together?' but then I realize that they don't know that they're not meant to be together; it's just me who knows things like that! And I don't see any importance in all the other reasons why people usually want to be together— because it looks good, because it's convenient, because it's a fun game to play... The only reason to be with someone is if you are meant for someone. You're a wolf and they're a wolf too and you look at each other and you say 'You're my family, you're my home.' Well, that's how I think.","author":"C.
