That’s the worst way to miss somebody. When they’re right beside you and you miss them anyway.

I fell in love with painting. Painting allows me to see things as I want to and not necessarily as they are, it's an escape, a way to preserve thoughts and memories, a way to create hopes and dreams. - Marina

When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.

Never underestimate human stupidity.

That’s the worst way to miss somebody. When they’re right beside you and you miss them anyway.

And that’s about all any of us can really hope for, to die with our dignity, to die with honor and valor. To die knowing we did everything we could.

I don't know why I still feel this pit in my stomach whenever I get a moment to think. I know what the pit is, too; I feel lonely. But I'm not alone, I keep telling myself.
