Although I was raised with love, I was always lonely.

When things get really bad, you take comfort in the placeness of a place.

Everyone lives the way she knows best. What I mean by 'their happiness' is living a life untouched as much as possible by the knowledge that we are really, all of us, alone. That's not a bad thing.

Truly happy memories always live on, shining. Over time, one by one, they come back to life.

The way we think may be completely different, but you and I are an ancient, archetypal couple, the original man and woman. We are the model for Adam and Eve. For all couples in love, there comes a moment when a man gazes at a woman with the very same kind of realization. It is an infinite helix, the dance of two souls resonating, like the twist of DNA, like the vast universe.

She was still there inside me now, just as she always was: a life put on hold, a memory I didn't know how to handle.

You know, Chihiro, darling- all it takes is one little wrong step and you end up feeling frustrated your whole life, like me.
