But I know the difference. Everyone else is a ghost. I exist here alone, stranded by choice. Deserted.

"W święta chciałabym wierzyć. Chcę wierzyć, że wbrew wszelkim znakom na niebie i ziemi wciąż warto mieć nadzieję.(...) Chcę wierzyć, że gdzieś tam jest ktoś dla mnie. Chcę wierzyć, że ja też istnieje dla kogoś innego."
