"The past makes you wanna die out of regr…" — Hachiman Hikigaya Quote

"It's arrogant to think just saying things out loud is enough. Self-gratifying on the part of the speaker, and conceited on the part of the listener. You won't always come to an understanding by talking things out."

"I want to reply with a long message, but if it's too long, that might be kind of revolting. But if it's too short, then I might come off as cold instead. Feeling apprehensive of what to do, I decided to reply back with a similar word count instead. This was what they called "mirroring" in psychology. By emulating the actions of the other party, your affection levels would increase!"

"The present isn't everything, but there are things you can only do now, things you can only find here. It's now or never. Think Writhe Struggle and agonize. If not what you are going through isn’t genuine.""

"It' because you were embarrassed, frustrated, bitter, and jealous. If there's a time when those ill feelings surfaced, then there's also going to be a time where you restrained yourself, smiled, and then cut your relationships afterwards. Being aware of your eventual break up was a rather complicated thing. If you wanted to graduate with a smile shouldn't you avoid approaching your friends too much? And that's where having no friends was super convenient!""

"There are some people who don't want a solution. Some want things to stay the way they are. There's no way to make things convenient for everyone. So the only option is to find a compromise."

"I'm always alone. Other people don't factor into what I do. The things that happen in front of me are parts of my life and my life alone."
