“The pain comes from more than the facts of circumstance, or the deeds of others. It comes from within. From understanding what we lost. It comes from knowing how foolish we were - vain, arrogant children - when we thought ourselves happy.

The pain comes from knowing we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. ”
