“Feeling someone else’s anger is bad; being left alone is worse.”
“When I meet someone I like being with more than I like being alone, I'll marry her.”

“Alone had always felt like an actual place to me, as if it weren't a state of being, but rather a room where I could retreat to be who I really was.”
“I just...I just miss him. And I hate being so alone.”
