“And certain things around us will change, become easier or harder, one
thing or the other, but nothing will ever really be any different. I

then what? I mean, what if you believe that, but you keep it covered
up, until one day something happens that should change something, but
then you see nothing is going to change after all. What then? Meanwhile,
the people around you continue to talk and act as if you were the same
person as yesterday, or last night, or five minutes before, but you are
really undergoing a crisis, your heart feels damaged…”
