i didn't like the loneliness of the house i lived in
that's why i moved out to the biggest city
i didn't like the loneliness of my heart that's why i looked out for you

''I feel very small. I don’t understand. I have so much courage, fire, energy, for many things, yet I get so hurt, so wounded by small things.''

- Anaïs Nin, from Nearer the Moon: The Previously Unpublished Unexpurgated Diary, 1937-1939
