"When I die bury me with my books, or perhaps cremate me with them. For my soul resides in their pages, and my life revolved around them once. Dig my grave near a library so I can visit it every night."

I'm actually alone
Imbibing my solitude
Like a plants absorbs the sunrays
I'm glowing;
exquisitely radiant
drinking in my alone time
But it still feels like I'm carrying the world
The world on my back;
and I keep falling face first in the sand.

ร‰nouement a French word that literally means "the final part of a story". It is the bittersweet feeling of arriving into the future and seeing how things turned out but not being able to tell your past self about it. Sad but poetic, isn't it?
