The world looks different today than it did some months ago. It has changed somehow. I cant point out exactly how, maybee the colour of they sky? Or maybee the birds sings a different tune…and the pizza tastes peculiar. The difference is small, but significant.
Soon this year will come to an end and 6 months has gone by since that unthinkable day in july and I cant do a rollback and restore with backup. I cant say goodbye either, the moment is forever gone.
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell.
― Edna St. Vincent Millay

I dont find peace anywhere anymore. In no life, in no world. I´m here there and everywhere, jumping around restless. And I want to cry when I listen to this song:
Partly because of personal reasons, but also because it reminds me that time flies so fast. But that is life. Just keep on breathing.
