Destined to be betrothed to melancholy.
Writing what I can't say out loud.
"This tremendous world I have inside of me. How to free myself, and this world, without tearing myself to pieces. And rather tear myself to a thousand pieces than be buried with this world within me."
"But I will write in spite of everything, absolutely; it is my struggle for self-preservation."
― Franz Kafka, Diaries, 1910-1923
