Once upon a time, there was a lonely man who lived in the stars. Every night he would lay there silently, watching the stars shoot across the sky. He thought to himself how nothing could possibly be more beautiful. But then, one day, he woke up from a deep sleep to something he'd never heard before. He swam through the sea of stars until he found a little girl dancing along the rings of Saturn. He landed next to her and took her by the hand. He looked into her eyes and in that moment he knew that no stars or galaxies could ever compare to the beauty he saw inside her
“The greatest suffering does not come from living in mirages, but from awakening. There is no greater pain than awakening from a dream, the deep crying over the dying selves.”

— Anais Nin, Mirages: The Unexpurgated Diary of Anais Nin, 1939-1947

“There is sadness for the dying selves that must be killed for the sake of the new ones.”
