You’ll spend your entire life searching for a reason to belong. At the end of that path is grave disappointment. For here is the secret… there is no fish in the sea, there is no bird, no bee, nor love, nor lust. There is only you. You and you alone. So, love yourself.

shaban-1Trapped, stuck, bound — call it what you like. This is humanity. We are not special, nor are we unique. Ordinary and predictable, this is the human condition.
