“People often don’t know what they want. They express their feelings and expectations inconsistently, and they are always in conflict with themselves. This is not because they are weak, but because they simply don’t fully understand what troubles their souls. It is natural for a person to feel dissatisfied when his life is empty or aimless, but what is even more difficult is to admit to himself the reality of this emptiness and to decide to strive for change. This is the difference between those who face life courageously and those who choose to live in illusions.

” —Antony Chekhov

“Love is like money. It seems available to everyone, but in essence it is rare and only real for those who know its value. Everyone can talk about it, just as everyone can spend money, but only a few understand its deep essence and know how to preserve and grow it with honesty and sincerity.”

I remained alone, staring into eternity, sadly stifling my tears. I saw you behind the rocks, then you disappeared into the fog, leaving me drowning in the silence of solitude. Loneliness is not the absence of people, but the absence of someone who understands you among everyone. It is to sit in the crowd of the world and feel like a stranger, to hear the noise of life but your heart is silent. Loneliness is not the desolation of a place, but the emptiness of the soul, when the sound of your thoughts becomes the only thing that keeps you company, and when you turn into a port waiting for ships that you know will never arrive.
