“In order to live fully, it is necessary to be in constant movement; only then can each day be different from the last. [...] Going farther and farther, distancing yourself from your personal history, from what you were forced to become.”
“How does one go about abandoning the story one was told?”
“By repeating it out loud in meticulous detail. And as we tell our story, we say goodbye to what we were and, as you’ll see if you try, we create space for a new, unknown world. We repeat the old story over and over until it is no longer important to us. [...] As those spaces grow, it is important to fill them up quickly, even if only provisionally, so as not to be left with a feeling of emptiness.”
“How?”
“With different stories, with experiences we never dared to have or didn’t want to have. That is how we change. That is how love grows. And when love grows, we grow with it.”
“Does that mean we might lose things that are important?”
“Never. The important things always stay; what we lose are the things we thought were important but which are, in fact, useless, like the false power we use to control the energy of love.”
Paulo Coelho – The Zahir

I want to live within / Cause I can’t live without / I want to build it up / So it can break me down / You are Like the summer rain / You are What I can’t explain / You are The hurt inside / You are What I cannot hide / And again, and again / And again, and again / The murder inside / The murder inside / The murder inside / The murder inside / The murder inside.
