“I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones.”
— Franz Kafka, from Letters to Milena

I often think about what a curse it is for us humans to have a bigger consciousness. Feeling the pain of others, crying our eyes dry and empty at night. But then you meet people that make you realize that it’s also a gift. The happiness, the laughs, the memories, feeling safe and feeling wanted. And that makes every night spent crying yourself to sleep worth it.
