The Depth of Gratitude: On Love, the Unconscious, and Affliction

Archive II. "the sigh that rebirths a soul"

Living under a kindred stream of consciousness and meta-cognitive intensity as Simone Weil’s insights, while embracing life with a total opposite spiritual approach—finding truth and purification through connection and relational love instead of detachment and void.

"Despite all the pain, we were forced to let go of people over the years, realizing they couldn’t meet us at our depth—only to recognize now that, years ago, we were once let go by someone we couldn’t meet at their depth.

That anonymous, unresolved ‘すきだ’ message—she told me it looked like your writing. That word ‘bright’ in your nickname. That courage from you when you sat next to the kid who then coldly stood up and walked away just because someone called their name. That meeting of eyes when you finished writing down the lecture notes from the blackboard and returned to your seat. That habit of you rolling up your pants by two folds—one I still instinctively keep. That emphasis on inner beauty you always carried even with your mere presence. That last conversation when she said we were made for each other—did she ever tell you, too? That final memory of a subtle, disappointed sigh from you—when you heard that the 15-year-old kid had bought a suit for the graduation photo—has stayed with me and saved me to this day.

All these years, everywhere I looked, I was just trying to find another soul who might resemble your spirit.

本当にありがとうございました。

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."

"I saw that otherworldly tenderness in your silence, rationality, actions, and beliefs. Though you never shed a single tear in front of us, I always knew you felt more deeply than any of us."

— 2025

"When we spend our entire life to find that one kindred spirit, only to realize we have already met that person at the very beginning of our life."

— 2025

"Will we one day come to accept the fact that a life full of regrets could be even more beautiful than a life full of blessings.”

— 2025

"If you have ever stood up for yourself even once, you may have already lost this breathtaking sight of love."

— 2025

"The heartbreaking thing about pure souls is that they never believe they are pure until the world breaks them down piece by piece. And even then, they still can’t convince themselves of it."

— 2025

"We fall in love with someone that someone can never be. We make ourselves exiles from the world, gradually banned from the realm of secular love, hoping for the day of return—only to be granted a meeting with another exile."

— 2025

"I will always be talking to you, even if we may never meet in this lifetime."

— 2025

"Absolute violence, impossible when extreme chaos meets a spot of stillness. Absolute beauty, inevitable when a spot of stillness meets extreme chaos."

— 2025

"What is that feeling when you gently nuzzle your forehead against my shoulder, when I carefully press mine against yours? The texture of the cloth, mixed with the unique scent of your body, the tenderness of your bones and flesh—it is a sync of emotions, a reality we have long lost, an entwining of souls. We cannot see anything, covered in the brightest darkness of each other, for the distance is too close. It is home."

— 2025

"Ontological rule and coincidence in human connection: we lose to gain. One cannot have two absolutes of the same absolute. One cannot live a fullest life without embracing the cleanest death. One cannot love the deepest while still clinging to the self."

— 2025

"I have always been quietly waiting for the day when we close our eyes with gentle hearts, for I know that the moment you may have feared all your life is just as beautiful as the moment you first opened your eyes to see this world, to know that one day we would meet, and that one day we would leave this place, holding each other so tenderly, together and always. And know, deeply, that this life has truly been magical."

— 2025

"Doesn’t it make your heart ache in the most beautiful sorrow, knowing that with all the clues and heartbreaks, we finally found each other in a world of 8 billion, instead of a world of 2?"

— 2025

"Will we even be able to whisper a single word when we finally meet each other with all the love we have carried through all these years? Or perhaps the sincere silence and the tear in our eyes, painfully infused by time and space, is the only gift we need from each other."

— 2025

"‘Jier! I saw Susu today,’ she said, having caught a glimpse of me standing on the bus and gently poking me on the side of the waist like she used to.

‘For real? I saw her the other day too,’ I replied to Shéshé, with a tone somehow foreign to how we used to speak.

Did we both notice how much Susu had changed? Or were we just pretending everything was still the way it was, for one last time.

But neither of us knew—that moment marked the end of childhood, the days that truly felt real and pure, for the three of us."

— 2025 & 2014

"That day, you surprised a 14-year-old kid by suddenly telling them—‘I like you’—right before class. That kid, who was secretly holding someone else in their heart, looked at you in shock and unknowingly responded with utter silence. Did that silence hurt you? Did that response become unbearable?

ごめん。ごめん。

It became so quiet—you later told them it was a joke.

Did your heart ever let you know, deep in that kid’s eyes, in those few minutes of silence as they looked at you—and in the moment they turned away—they were telling themselves with a not-yet-weathered heart, so unswervingly: ‘I’ll use the rest of my life to protect you from harm.’

That they still carefully cherish a glimpse of your soul at that age, to this day."

— 2025 & 2015

"Doesn’t it take our breath away to realize a love like this is brooding into its eternally beautiful shape somewhere in the world, right at this moment."

— 2025

"I am scared our love may not be fated.
I am scared one day I may take you for granted.
I am scared I may fail to love you unconditionally.
I am scared I may lose the capacity to feel so deeply.
I am scared I may not live up to who I thought I was with you.
I am scared to see you suffer.
I am scared you may leave this world with regrets.
I am scared you may fear the same thing.
I am scared we may get lost in the process of searching for each other.
I am scared this view of love may eventually collapse.
I am scared.

But that afternoon, after running, you suddenly stood in front of me,
sweat on your face, the seemingly still-organized hair,
the soaked school uniform clinging tightly to your body.
You asked a question about chemistry—
a symbol of love that sustains itself without the need for absolutes.
A forever lighthouse.
A presence too pure to be lost, and to be stayed with.
That ‘now’—we have touched it.
That ‘now’ stops every fear, for it is accepted.
And now, this heart is strong enough to erase its consciousness and just to love you."

— 2025

"I utterly embrace that loneliness. We are permanently separated. I remember you from afar. I love you in the deepest way I could."

— 2025

"The faraway sight of your backpack and your shadow still moves me with a beauty I have rarely found in all the eyes I have looked into."

— 2025

"I watched you spend your entire life trying to forgive yourself for the cuts, tears, and wounds this world has inflicted upon you."

— 2025

"If it is really that painful and unbearable that you need to call yourself evil just to distract your mind and find temporary healing from all the scars of the past—
you could.
Say it in silence.
Say it so this life hurts less.
Say it with your heart trembling.
Say it so your tears have a place to fall.
But I will always hold a keepsake in my heart that stores the depth of your love—
one I will always cherish,
one that reminds me of who you truly are.
And I will be forever grateful to have met a soul like yours."

— 2025

"In those paradoxes, we found all the aches that nearly shatter the mind, helplessly hiding behind the words."

— 2025

"We have thought to a degree where we no longer understand what it is to understand, where the process of knowing reveals its fracture, where the feeling of comprehension fails to stabilize itself."

— 2025

"How we long to find another human being, even if it’s just one, and tell them with our whole heart and devotion: your soul is so beautiful."

— 2025

"They don’t have a complex past so much as they have touched life to its bones."

— 2025

"Every time the depth of drowning becomes painful, we are a step closer to becoming the water. Every time the river flows slower, we are discovering ourselves melding with the lake. Every time the lake sits drier, we are reaching to touch the sky. Every time the clouds shrink in shape, we get a chance to transform into the ocean. Every time the ocean roars in its ferocious beauty so that it can eventually rest in its serenity, mourning the occasional distress we have caused along the way, we realize the pain we endured has brought countless living beings to life. We are right there with them, as they are right here with us—humanly connected, earthly bound, cosmically loved."

— 2025

"When one believes whoever is speaking the ultimate truth, we believe them more than we are convinced. True persuasion never exists in its absolute form as long as the limitation of the human mind is concerned. We are more a believer in logic than a citizen of logic itself. We buy into our own mind rather than the mind of the universe, which in itself is an order imposed by the inconceivable—an invisible, interconnected network, with seemingly identical but diffusing consciousness and intuitions, for a balance in the chaos that is the balance itself. And one eventually finds peace in such chaos, through the presence of unconditional love free from any level of cause and effect: a pure attention, a pure being, a pure existence of two magically found and looking into the soul of each other."

— 2025

"What the world can physically offer is only so much; what one can hide of themselves is only so much. Yet what one can conceptually offer is infinite, boundless, and forever expanding. For what breaks out forms the root of growth; what is sealed is static in nature—water will only overflow when it’s filled to the top. The good—non-action and silence performed under moral integrity—should fundamentally differentiate itself from the bad—passive concealment, born out of a subconscious need to survive, that harmfully prevents the formation of genuine connection. There’s only so much a human mind can hold; the depth of the inner world is only proven by the willingness to be transparent, especially in environments that are perceivably safe and where it is necessary to do so."

— 2025

"Why does the world have people who are kind?
 So that the people who are less kind will exist.

Why does the world have people who are less kind?
 So that the people who are self-sacrificially kind will exist.

In which order should one ask the question,
 they eventually become the person in the sentence of "so."

Instinctively, inevitably, we become what gives our mind meaning.

Why are the kindest people very often the ones who have been wounded the most?
 They have chosen to be kind over and over again,
 after witnessing darkness over and over again.

One chooses to be kind—to quietly offer, to silently suffer.

Yet it matters more to them than anything else in this world."

— 2025

"We suffer the unbearable when we claim ourselves to be the pure victim, when we desire to take all the light upon ourselves until it burns like hell."

— 2025

"One’s suffering, without a conscious orientation toward justice-seeking, is one of the very few conditions to one’s goodness that one must not recognize at the moment of pain."

— 2025

"When the evil use the lens of self-interest to judge the quality of the good, and when the good use the lens of empathy to view the act of evil—this is the traumatic irony of the world."

— 2025

"Even a non-judgmental claim can’t be made equally valid when one party is surrendering self for truth while the other is surrendering truth for self, and the possibility of true peace will be sensed—whether within oneself or in the environment—by a soul that aligns with the first principle before the mouth is even opened."

— 2025

"We must not expect a tiger, who never speaks our language and morality, to pay back the wounds they have caused. Survival is their natural law; transcendence is our conscious rule."

— 2025

"We often praise what imprisons our mind; that is the precondition of praise. Yet there is one exception: love, the thing that traps and frees a mind at the same time, for letting go and attachment are both shaped by love as we understand it. But only one is pure. Only one can perform the erasure of self. Only one allows the acceptance of finality. Only one stays without the need for worship. Only one can perform its magic without the need for consciousness. Only one can be without ever being. And that is love."

— 2025

"How many lives have been murdered by the lack of awareness that is beyond their control, as one can only be controlled by the foundation of control itself? How blessed are those selected few with an old soul since the beginning of their life, despite the suffocating pain they are destined to experience in the process. The universe, being the true sinner and the true savior behind all events, created the purest light and the coldest dark. It is the most naked, but hides itself indefinitely from the mind of the conscious that it builds. Gratitude and despair—it gives and depletes itself. So robust, so fragile. A balance, unbreakable. A question, unanswerable. A love, unshakable."

— 2025

"How could one know another has lost the capacity for love if one has not felt love in a purer degree? How could one know they themselves have lost the capacity for genuine love if they have never felt love in a degree pure enough? How could someone consciously lose something they have never experienced nor known existed, though the invisible loss is still inevitable? For the side that is suffering deeply, at this stage, there is still empathy present. At this stage, there is still fairness irretrievable. At this stage, there is still grace exceptional."

— 2025

"The cycles of unawareness continue, the cycles of sacred meetings of thoughts continue, the cycles of sacrifice continue, the cycles of innocence continue, the cycles of suffering continue. Seemingly repetitive and unending, only to culminate in a point of divine realization by a few individuals gratefully humming the song of life—lifting the tears in the eyes of the souls who bear the load of the world. The cycle of love, then, continues."

— 2025

"In the battle between extreme rage and extreme gratitude, the latter always wins.

The former is losing oneself and others.

The latter is holding someone else while losing oneself.

One loses all.

One holds everything."

— 2025

"Desire is only beautiful when it is sublimated. Silence is only beautiful when it is intentional. Movement is only beautiful when performed in stillness. Love is only beautiful when the self ceases to exist willingly."

— 2025

"In the realm of empathy, one's sensitivity to evil and darkness is just as sharp as one's sensitivity to goodness and the light it brings."

— 2025

"Any real gifts one is capable of finding and receiving in this life, by definition, exist only in passive encounters."

— 2025

"Even at this point, you still can’t bear to see the person who took away the meaning of your life lose more than you have lost."

— 2025

"If one ever has the capacity—even just a little—the explosion of emotions is destined to become an implosion of metaphysical insights that is in itself an emotion of gratitude, preventing the fundamental destruction of the mind."

— 2025

"Human-defined truth is, fundamentally, a cognitive response mechanism in the brain that fits its own standards of comprehension, which are themselves extremely limited and very often a false diamond, variously designed by the universe itself for each."

— 2025

"Even some of the most radically idealistic thinkers have written the words, ‘Why these things and not others? Because that is how it is.’ They are not blind to reality; they simply find the current version of reality ridiculous and unacceptably idealistic."

— 2025, quoted simone weil

"We wait for a person long enough to see the limits of their empathy—under the dismantling of social influence, the unfulfillment of personal desires, and the absence of self-imposed ideologies—if it was ever real at all."

— 2025

"True innocence and true depth, too often, unbearably coexist as one."

— 2025

"The most sensitive minds are too often the ones that heal the freshly awakened sensitivity of less sensitive minds."

— 2025

"Few truths can be told without paradox and tension. That’s the fundamental function of the human mind: comparison and contradiction."

— 2025

"One must be aware of the consequences of revealing evil to the subconscious without acknowledging its existence."

— 2025

"We never realize the depth of sincerity in our work until it occasionally slips out of our hearts and the immense destabilization it brings."

— 2025

"How could I ever cease to love you, even when our awareness is no more, even when two minds can no longer recognize, yet with the faintest heartbeat, they still want to hold each other."

— 2025

"One must learn that life is eventually more unbearable for the one who hurts others than for the one who gets hurt. Always be the latter: the only way that makes temporality livable, the only way that makes finality acceptable."

— 2025

"How common a phenomenon it is in this world, when people use others’ sin to justify their own."

— 2025

"What happens when we no longer have the influence of other people’s worlds to ground us—some become the devil, some take on the role of God, and some find the meaning of love without the need to become anything."

— 2025

"I can’t bear the thought that this mind is cherishing you less and less—when that loneliness no longer softens it the same way."

— 2025

"We all need to be reminded that the enduring search for another kind-hearted soul is never selfish."

— 2025

"I’ll be forever waiting till the day you come back to teach me how to love again."

— 2025

"We wish someone could hold our hand, even just one more time—to tell us what to do, to give us a bit more warmth in this life. But the moment this thought comes into our head, someone out there, also lost in the deep haze, is actively praying for someone like us to hold theirs."

— 2025

"Will we cry if this is written by someone else instead of our own self? If the answer is yes, we are undeniably writing from our own heart, deeply, achingly, and unreservedly. That is the one of the greatest gifts we could have left for others."

— 2025

"It may take you a long time, and cost you dearly, to discover that your power never lies in winning anything, but in relentlessly blaming yourself even when you have done the only thing you could to preserve love in its purest form. Your power is never in your own hands, nor in the hands of others; it is always in the hands of love. This power is the strongest of all, not because it conquers anything, but because it remains untouchable by anyone except a pure soul."

— 2025

"They have shown you a way to calmness, to stillness, to detachment that always signals the relief of overwhelming emotions.

But you still choose to go back to the pain, to the ache, to the sadness.

This is suffering. This is love.

Not because it fills the void—instead, it births a chance of expanding the void indefinitely—but because it’s truer than the void."

— 2025

"I don’t know if I could convince you that all the beauty you’ve found along the way is worth the overwhelming pain—But maybe just look at that person you love. Just, simply, look at them. They are also looking back at you. Please, with your whole heart, what do you see?"

— 2025

"To love someone—to make someone our ultimate reality—is to painfully and gracefully endure all the failures that may come of it."

— 2025

"Father prays: ‘I hope everyone you meet is kind. I hope all your love runs deep.’

Have we, eventually, found more beauty in this late prayer than in the realities it failed to protect."

— 2025

"They don’t know if anything they have ever created will be able to touch another heart so deeply, but they know they have poured everything they could have offered in this life. And it cost them everything, just as they always knew it would."

— 2025

"Any thoughts written to convince have already detached us from the purest contact with the cosmos. One must seek to save, not overthrow, any level of balance. True belief is never forced but only an act of faithful surrender. Thus we say: I am grateful you decided to stay with us."

— 2025

"Even if there’s only a small fraction of positivity in sight, treat it as certain—treat it as a treasure one already owns, and experience life with all the courage and love one can find."

— 2025

"In the realm of humanity, no one and everyone deserves to be loved."

— 2025

"All the natural movements are in preparation of its stillness."

— 2025

"It’s only a tired kid with a dirty cloth after playing hide-and-seek, leaning beside her mother—but why does it become so beautiful when it passes through your eyes."

— 2025

" 。"

— 2025

"You know why they laugh. You know why they cry. And you know why you ache on both sides."

— 2025

"We are far more lonely than we used to be, yet far less lonely than we believe ourselves to be."

— 2025

"A life, impossible to live, without the word ‘thank you’."

— 2025

"There always comes a time when we will need everything to end."

— 2025

"There has always been a reason why life forces you to encounter the very people you try to avoid, and it’s precisely the fact that we can’t foresee the transformation it brings to our soul that makes the encounter meaningful—purification and love cannot evolve into their greater form when there is too much avoidance."

— 2025

"Realizing that doing good, too, causes harm, we are a step closer to the act of pure good. That’s the inevitable cost of the interconnectedness of all things; that’s the price we pay for embracing radical empathy; that’s the painful reality of existing as a flawed, awareness-based living being."

— 2025

"For those who think so deeply that their self disintegrates,

and for those whose minds simplify reality so empirically that their base desire remain visible to outsiders—

the sky, the river, the air stay perceptively, relationally, and ironically identical."

— 2025

"Being considered decent and desirable by a thousand evils never legitimizes the good in one. Yet the truly good ones never have the power within themselves to believe in the concept of evil in others, while still subconsciously holding themselves accountable for all suffering."

— 2025

"We ask ‘why’ in its extremity, to the point ‘why’ fails itself, being a function of false consciousness, inevitably finite."

— 2025

"Mourn for the unconscious mind that believes in its level of consciousness and the illusion of control."

— 2025

"Many believe that truth and moral integrity lie in aligning with the majority, yet the entire human race has rarely, if ever, justified anything other than themselves as correct."

— 2025

"Even a single word written with utmost emotion holds more value than an entire prose written disconnectedly with the fanciest techniques. I learned that when I saw the kid with cerebral palsy write down the word ‘mum’."

— 2025

"We find a home in the words and works we create during the quietest hours of the world."

— 2025

"One’s pain disappeared while standing among those who don’t meet—it was only preparing itself to come back infinitely more visible when the street stood still and empty."

— 2025

"We stare into the darkest side of the world. We write it down for others. We pray they will no longer have to look into it with unbearable pain."

— 2025

"One day, the deepest trench is going to be a surface on land and space, while it has always been a surface for itself since the beginning of time."

— 2025

"How long do we still have the courage to sit with the human nature we have painfully known, without using the view of previous innocence to comfort a broken mind?"

— 2025

"For an active person, even the greatest variety is repetition. For a person in stillness, even the briefest wave of a hello carries beauty."

— 2025

"We should always ask ourselves one key question: ‘If I were never afraid of prolonged solitude, being permanently forgotten, and extreme loneliness, would I still love the person as deeply as I do now?’"

— 2025

"Your pure presence is so beautiful, in that memory. ありがとう。"

— 2025

"Expiatory suffering (defined by Simone Weil as ‘the shock in return for the evil we have done’), when caused by misjudgment, unawareness, or the compassion of a pure soul, can ultimately elevate the purity of suffering beyond that of redemptive suffering (defined by Weil as ‘the shadow of the pure good we desire’). Such suffering, without even the realization of redemption, marks the truest heartbreaks of this world."

— 2025

"The highest degree of vulnerability performed under the influence of the highest degree of pureness in mind births a level of existence that is most powerful in its state of integrity upon the denial and non-reaction of the intended audience (True vulnerability + pure mind = an unshakable steadiness)."

— 2025

"Do you remember the moment you shut everyone out of your heart, when you first learned the concept of ‘death’ and ‘separation’ as a kid, when everything felt unreal all of a sudden?

And do you remember how stunningly beautiful life became—when you finally let them back in, after you had accepted that those two experiences are among the greatest gifts of this life?"

— 2025

"A great soul once spoke to the world that we will never forget the time we spend in solitude.

One nods.

One bows.

One concurs.

And three purified hearts say thank you."

— 2025

"The kindness and purity I picked up in your soul all those years ago still teach and guide me to this day."

— 2025

"Have you ever begged to see another soul who is willing to look at others the same way you witness them?"

— 2025

"The most sincere words lose their sparkle in a fabricated environment, where authenticity no longer carries the same weight, where the concept of existence only exists for itself."

— 2025

"A highly examined mind constantly feels the limitations of oneself to the extreme."

— 2025

"Only when one has truly practiced vulnerability will one realize that even in itself there is an evolution to be sought."

— 2025

"Thoughts reaches its divine beauty when it echos and fulfills itself in the quietest and emptiest room."

— 2025

"One falls into an utter state of hopelessness and despair when the base reality is subconsciously altered to a point where it becomes unacceptable."

— 2025

"To the seasoned thinkers, it is a miracle that the world can function without serious contemplation. To the newborn children, it is a miracle that the world is functioning under complexities they can’t yet bear to understand."

— 2025

"It’s all too well not to long for love when one’s mind has not fully formed. It’s all too painful for love to shatter right at the moment of maturity."

— 2025

"What validates a human thought more than the ache and pain in our hearts at the moment of writing?"

— 2025

"How many times have you been saved by the tenderness of the words you wrote at the brink of collapsing."

— 2025

"Every dissection and precise observation of their insights into the human psyche is never a voluntary act—and maybe that is why it feels so achingly real."

"Having the version of you from nine years ago in one’s heart is all the company one could ever ask for."

— 2025

"When everything falls quiet, we are forced to face the truth. And those who survive, find love."

— 2025

"We will still break, suffocate, scream, rage, cry, and collapse in silence—over and over again—despite the cosmic law and the universal truth we have painstakingly known, learned, and carried. Pain is inevitable, but the aftermath—the purification of love, connection, and hope that still remain after the crushing experience—matters more than the past life and soul that used to be intact."

— 2025

"One cannot leave a mark with less than a hundred years of limited consciousness in a universe infinitely greater than the comprehensible legacy of the human mind. The mark is already there before every living being is born. The true mark is always present, yet designed to perish. The illusion of a mark—a fundamentally flawed desire born of limited awareness, proven by its recognizable progression from its owner(As we go through life, we experience the evolution of our awareness and come to recognize our lack of awareness in the past)—is a rigid survival mechanism, unnecessary and inevitably finite."

— 2025

"What is considered of utmost importance by a thousand ants is not cherished by a single human being. The recognition of a billion people cannot outrun the test of the universe and its time."

— 2025

"The test of the unchangeable is change."

— 2025

"The depth of the world extends only as far as the one who is looking at it, regardless of the depth of thoughts laid before them. Some mock those who have deeply suffered with arrogance, while some are quietly grateful, tearing up when a single butterfly appears at just the right moment."

— 2025

"No matter how hard we try, we still can’t escape becoming a product of everything that has happened to us—everything we never had any capability of foreseeing, leaving us with only the choice of acceptance."

— 2025

"Our desires and self-centered needs will take a significantly greater toll on us than the conscious effort to give."

— 2025

"Will the safety net we created for ourselves one day be strong enough to breed a disillusionment that destroys us."

— 2025

"A life dedicated to the pursuit and the purification of love, paradoxically and painfully, negates one’s ability to truly experience it."

— 2025

"We write down the beautiful souls we have met along the way—and help others believe that angels do exist."

— 2025

"The more one pursues fairness, the more unfairness the mind perceives in past and future days—an ever-growing addiction that clings to the psyche like any other mental stimulus."

— 2025

"The selective exposure—or social tendency—of a pure mind: When one with a pure heart empathizes with the impure without actively realizing or condemning (which is impossible in the case of a pure mind) the nature of that environment, one is deemed to suffer from the instability. When one is pure and empathizes with the pure, the purity in them is affirmed; thus, mental stabilization is both a reflection and a reward of their own purity, setting the first correlation between suffering and innocence."

— 2025

"Some stay unsatisfied, having all the wealth and power in the world; some show a sigh of relief after getting closer to their dream; some give the most grateful smile for having a slice of bread; and some manage to build the most beautiful life by being a piece of bread for those in need."

— 2025

"One’s ego is stripped to its barest not through conscious efforts, but by the inescapable condition of chronic alienation. With all attempts to reconnect failing to materialize, one is left with detachment as the passive and only state of existence, while still managing to uphold kindness and love as the ultimate truth."

— 2025

"The tears of external validation and the tears of truth—one is instinctively holding oneself, one is utterly surrendering oneself."

— 2025

"Let there be no reward and reassurance perceivable, for that’s the only way one creates from one’s soul."

— 2025

"It wouldn’t be a punishment if we could foresee its consequences. It wouldn’t be something transcendentally beautiful if we could know how it would unfold, for what we can get a hold of is meant to vanish. Carrying the same fundamental principles, what differs in perception and the life it brings is the purity of the mind."

— 2025

"If one day you can no longer remember who you are, these truthful words will remind you of the versions of yourself worth remembering."

— 2025

"We experience a higher form of self-erasure not by intentionally and intellectually performing ego-dissolution but by embracing love—like a caring mother would, like a sacrificing father would, like a human being who accepts the design of the universe, admits their flaws and desires, and protects what is most important while holding themselves with no real importance deep in the subconscious. One day, we may just find that human instincts, under certain conditions, can generate more beauty than the illusion of consciousness."

— 2025

"It took one such a long time to realize that the true gift doesn’t come from being recognized by the majority, but from your heart’s ability to be content with just one person—someone infinitely more important than the rest of the world."

— 2025

"Mental distress often arises from irrational, existentially threatening uncertainties made certain by the subconscious."

— 2025

"Higher consciousness is then less about the full negation of certain aspects of life, but the utter embracement of all while still choosing to love with ever-present pain."

— 2025

"Some things are not erased by an apology; some things can only be fixed by using one’s entire lifetime."

— 2025

"We try to find salvation and purification in where there’s a void. We believe the void is the answer of all things. We believe the void is the path to divine. And finally knowing that we have lived our entire life to embrace the void only to fill a void we didn’t know it was always there."

— 2025

"Maybe it’s essential to admit—that the depth of our thoughts is neither granted nor guaranteed to positively correlate with the truth of the universe."

— 2025

"Sit with us, in this forever wonder of love."

— 2025

"The battle of meta-awareness can be one of the cruelest and most destructive in this world—or one of the kindest and most healing in this life."

— 2025

"One tries not to let the complexity of the mind hinder the potential accessibility of love with another. For complexity is meant for one’s own processing of the world, while simplicity allows the other to enter, so that complexity can finally retire, giving its never-claimed throne to the most complex and simple love."

— 2025

"The truthful words that life pushes out of our mouths and souls are among the best gifts we will ever receive while living on this earth."

— 2025

"No amount of logical deduction or academic framework brings more conviction than a well-written, soul-infused story inspired by real life."

— 2025

Why do you keep practicing a life of solitude and spiritual loneliness?

"Because wherever you are, you deserve for me to see you as my whole world."

— 2025

"You remember every single person you met yet wish every single one forgot about your presence. This life then becomes a way of caring, a way of giving, a way of observing with a self-fulfilling soul."

— 2025

"There comes a point when one is no longer interested in claiming anything as one’s own, for what walks with one is never claimed, and what doesn’t belong becomes merely a test of eliminating the need to own for mental comfort."

— 2025

"We tell the degree of good and light in a person not by their half-conscious reactions, but by the depth of their attempted, conscious silence."

— 2025

"We break down our minds into fragments to offer others peace of mind."

— 2025

"The ability to understand and accept what truly matters is one of the rarest gifts humans are given to cherish."

— 2025

"We are transformed most deeply by the suffering whose significance we do not intentionally try to diminish."

— 2025

"If one does not develop their soul, they will always remain a mere puppet to fulfill another’s basic needs. A fundamental human mechanic, a rudimentary law in love: we eventually become only what we give. What is illusion is destined to fail to spiritualize in love, no matter how hard the other person imagines it to be."

— 2025

"The fabricated human environment provides psychological comfort for the conformity and survival aspects of the human mind. Solitude further reveals the true nature of the world and the illusion of reality and perception in which we traps ourselves."

— 2025

"Embracing kindness and sincerity won’t always spark the love in everyone—but one always has the choice to love every living being."

— 2025

"One finds it harder and harder to trust anything one creates with the intention of ownership or psychological comfort—and so learns to transmit truth for the sake of everyone else."

— 2025

— 2025

"Gratefulness, one of the most magical and soul-defining emotions we will ever have in this life, is one we cannot bear to lose."

— 2025

"Only in solitude do we learn to witness people in the quietest way, in the gentlest way, in the way the kindest souls in this life deserve to be seen."

— 2025

"All meaningful growth of a human being comes from the battle with one’s own mind."

— 2025

"Where all intellectual reasoning fails to comfort the mind, it is the most genuine love, emerging from the subconscious, that still saves us."

— 2025

"Feelings that come after the emotions are their own reward."

— 2025

"Do you see how beautiful life is when you no longer chase the absolute? When you have learned to surrender to the truth whispered by your stunning emotions? When you finally have the courage to be imperfect and to choose that person over everything? They need you more than they need you dancing with the divine, alone in the sky. Come down, and the smile you see will finally be real, and the imagination you envisioned as the equivalent of your expenditure will finally be tangible, for once."

— 2025

"The moment we are given the capacity to ask questions—is that the moment we are designed to be exiled from the ultimate truth? And is that also the moment we are expected to know, without even needing to ask, that we have always been given everything that truly matters?"

— 2025

"Logic cannot function without illogical or observational assumptions. Thus, we humbly choose humbleness."

— 2025

"One appears to contradict oneself less with thoughts addressing emotions, rather than objective truths that are fundamentally the result of perception."

— 2025

"When intuition becomes self-justifiable, we reach a radical state of detachment. But that’s when the resonance is lost in the stream of unconscious rationality. Hence, love is no longer relational but self-serving."

— 2025

"We think, therefore we are. We can, therefore we are. We feel, therefore we finally are."

— 2025

— 2025

"If there's a choice to sit with God for eternity, or to sit with a wounded and imperfect soul on earth for only a decade, one always chooses the latter."

— 2025

— 2025

"I sense that unmistakable trembling of your hand the moment before you show me your heart’s words, that’s when I decided to embrace and believe everything you have to say with my whole heart."

— 2025

"There are always days when we don’t even cherish the words and worlds we created with our souls torn—yet they’re still there, and they still resonate."

— 2025

"Suffering lays the foundation of emotions, and words are only an invisible bridge that guides that pain into its relief."

— 2025

"No ocean nor land could remain as deep and vast when we sit with it long enough. Despite our constant subconscious need to grow and expand from previous depths, it still doesn’t erase their magnificence in relation to us, and that is humbling as always."

— 2025

"We never forget the person who taught us how to love."

— 2025

"The insecurity of mind originates from the fissures that needs love."

— 2025

"That child, who wakes up at 5 a.m. only to stare at the moon, is so still in their actions, so quiet in their mind, so purely a phenomenon of being. Perhaps they sit with the ultimate truth in a way we were never able to comprehend."

— 2025

"The things we sometimes find hardest to accept are often the intuitive thoughts of another thinker—a clash of intuitions, a clash of unconsciousness—yet still a natural balance within divine order."

— 2025

"Emotion is a truth and divine order one can’t overlook."

— 2025

— 2025

And we gather the beautiful words of others to hold them as ours."

— 2025

"Sometimes you want others who are concerned about your situation to feel a sense of fairness by not even telling them that you have learned ‘forgiveness brings something eternally good.’"

— 2025

"Weil’s two kind steps to convincement and belief alteration: One feels like their mind is being quietly read. One then instinctively becomes vulnerable and opens to suggestions to the holy ground."

— 2025

"Regardless of how complex or mystic a person may appear to be, their most fundamental motivation for continuing to live this life is often something unexpectedly simple, yet tragically beautiful—something most can relate to, something that makes us utterly human."

— 2025

"One can shut their willingness for self-reflection, yet one can’t shut the life that emerges from unexamined thoughts. For the impact of such debased behavior is already transparent and effective enough to destroy the self-perception and reward-seeking nature of even a less developed mind and ethic system."

— 2025

"To witness truth is to witness how the survival mechanism, when pushed to its limit, emotionally and physically alters the mind."

— 2025

"One great illusion in a man-made, systematic world is the progression designed by such, for going through the regression process in this construct often generates the real progression in the inalterable system of the universe."

— 2025

"Words, despite how clear we made them, are still somewhat vague to the heart."

— 2025

"When we finally find the most sincere smile in our heart, we start to find it increasingly more difficult to put a soulless smile on our face."

— 2025

"In our unconscious state, we experience life in its rawest form. And in our closest state to consciousness, we finally relive the past in its most beautiful shape."

— 2025

"One shall master mindful control of their empathy to maximize the good and love they can bring to the world."

— 2025

"Sometimes we wish life could just let that version of reality last a little bit longer, just a little longer."

— 2025

"You loved the idea of adopting a child when you were little, because at that age, it felt like one of the few ways you knew how to give love without consciously asking for anything in return."

— 2025

"When we reach into the deepest part of our heart, we have already made a decision—a decision that marks the commitment of our work and soul to one person instead of the entire world."

— 2025

"‘I am grateful to think that you may never truly understand evil’ is one of the highest praises we could have given each other, with our souls and theirs already deeply touched by irreversible harm."

— 2025

"The sincerity and the metric of our hearts are the very few depths we can trust in this ever-changing and sometimes ruthless world."

— 2025

"When life is still intact, we learn to dream. When life begins to shatter, we learn to apologize. When life has nothing left, we learn to sacrifice."

— 2025

"When two people possess analogously intense metacognition in the pursuit of ultimate purity, the choice to live as cold or close is sometimes a predetermined, empirically inexplicable intuition in the mind." (Only under the context: Gravity and Grace & The Archive)

— 2025

"That is the irony of the world and of human depth: we can never be clear enough. We can never be deep enough. We can never be certain enough. We can only resonate with each other enough to call it a fleeting home."

— 2025

"One must learn that there is no avoidance of emptiness when the ultimate objective is getting rather than non-attached giving."

— 2025

"The nature of absolutizing ideals tortures and beautifies life."

— 2025

"In the spiritual realm, the silent suffering and the mental frustration from the condition of failing to get what one desires operate on two ends of a string. One elevates, one debases."

— 2025

"Being forever grateful to everything that shapes us, being non-attached to everything that brought light upon us, being ever-evolving in the process of life, for we carry them even in our new self, for their kindness is never lost, for the new offering we can provide to those in need—such is the interconnectedness of life, such is the cycle of good."

— 2025

"It’s necessary sometimes for one to use one’s old, less idealized self to ground the radical pursuit of ideals held by one’s current self, for purification will crumble under blindness, for extremity is not so different at both ends, good or evil."

— 2025

"Having a consciousness so intense, one must take no pride in it—for it gives one the very tool to be brave enough to dissolve it."

— 2025

"They lay their soul bare to forgive themselves for committing a sin they never committed."

— 2025

"We come closest to embracing the idea of eternity by consciously upholding the idea of eternity’s finality as truth."

— 2025

"The task of equanimity: find peace in a world full of thoughts, and find peace in a world with no thoughts."

— 2025

"We can’t bear to think that whoever we love with our soul is bad, not even a little. Then, we pray one day, the good will not redefine itself."

— 2025

"One’s role is less about speaking objective truth but more about interpreting already objectified and existing truths in ways that uniquely contribute to the lives of other living beings."

— 2025

"Even one who prefers solitude their entire life will realize, at some point, that non-voluntary solitude will still break them."

— 2025

"Sincerity is more often the powerful result of deep emotions than a decision descended from rational thought or socially pressured morality."

— 2025

"What often shatters a conscious being is not pure physical or emotional pain born of known and expected causes, but consistent disillusionments too severe to ever be foreseen, accepted, or recovered from."

— 2025

"One’s task is to ensure there is always something left to protect when survival instincts have been completely stripped away from them."

— 2025

"In the process of self-erasure and ego-dissolution, we still can’t escape the self-structure essential for the process if it’s ever going to exist or last at all."

— 2025

"Consciousness, the only thing that fulfills us at the deepest level and the only thing that undoes us in the most painful way."

— 2025

"Most of the unease and tension between two conscious beings comes from the mutually known unconscious left unsaid."

— 2025

"We are forced to see the true nature of the world even more deeply once we learn to be genuinely kind. And yet, from then on, we continue to be kind—despite the pain it doubles."

— 2025

"One of the greatest mistakes is believing achievement brings fulfillment, only to awaken years later and realize it was never about what you accomplished, but about the love you felt, the pain you hid, the regrets you carried, the truthful souls you met, and the person you became along the way."

— 2025

"No matter how much we distill and purify our thoughts and presence, we still reveal snippets of subconscious desires and needs we aren’t aware of."

— 2025

"One effective way to peace: to become a quiet observer, to partially abandon the role of a reactor."

— 2025

"The evolution of the soul emerges from the quiet confidence found in living consistently within the lack of confidence."

— 2025

"There was a time when one’s entire worldview was supported by a single idea. Even now, it still seems to be just one. Only, its density has indefinitely expanded."

— 2025

"The depth of a soul is more revealed when they deeply believe there’s a hidden layer within every soul they are lucky enough to encounter."

— 2025

"The depth of one’s empathy will often haunt one more deeply than any unethical actions the world has applied upon them."

— 2025

"Despite striving to be vulnerable and dedicated to a cause greater than life, one must leave enough room in the heart to protect the integrity of a tired mind, and to allow the continual processing of dreadful realities that are consciously known yet remain unknown to the subconscious."

— 2025

"The cost or gift of having a sensitive soul is that you get to see and witness others as well, for better or for worse."

— 2025

"Connection and vulnerability are never passive; they are a switch of the mind—an utterly active and courageous act that reveals what matters most in one’s world."

— 2025

"Perhaps part of an artist’s work is to uncover the things everyone considers important yet can never fully realize or put into words—and to do so in the gentlest, kindest, and most emotional way."

— 2025

"The clearest and most transformative view one now holds about the world is likely the result of one or two people rather than the entire presence of the world."

— 2025

"Maybe it is a wonderful awareness to leave a slight mystery in one’s thoughts the moment they appear, for the savoring and reevaluation that follow truly reveal the magic of the human mind and the never-ending guidance it offers."

— 2025

"One must deeply understand that soul-revealing words should never become a language lecture, especially when someone in desperate need of a survival idea is surrendering their shattered self to the thoughts of others for a glimpse of hope—despite the occasional vagueness and abstraction crafted for emotional weight and resonance."

— 2025

"Isn’t it strange, after all these years, we find solace in the most foreign place, a place we feel constantly alienated and misunderstood, a place that only allows us to feel at home with one other person, and that is more than enough, and that is more than beautiful, and that is why we are here."

— 2025

"When you love, has anyone ever told you that you are a human too—someone who also needs to be loved? If words like that have ever reached your ears, I know the world would cry if they could truly see your soul."

— 2025

"That overwhelming sensitivity gives one every possible chance to abandon ideals, to give in to negativity, to make up never-ending reasons for unworthiness. But one must never forget: it is also the only key to love at its fullest and rarest form—born from the genuine, kindly devoted sacrifice of both parties."

— 2025

"All thoughts, no matter whom they appear to address, are ultimately conversations with the self. And it’s the intentional dissolve of ego that makes it heartbreakingly real and full of love."

— 2025

"Conversing with those who have accomplished much but rarely suffered will give one a fleeting ego, but trading one’s soul with those who have suffered deeply and are still standing will save one’s life in the most transformative way"

— 2025

"I hope you never get used to being hurt or grow to like suffering. But if you do, I hope you know that your well-scarred and purified heart will one day help many people live meaningfully, and their tears will carry a piece of your spirit—one you don’t even claim as your own. And that is a significantly rarer blessing than living a life filled with empty personal comfort."

— 2025

"They believe that one day, these will save a life—just as they once saved theirs."

— 2025

"You wrote someone you love like a god who saved you—that will always be the tale of your own love’s depth."

— 2025

"The constant battles between the conscious and the unconscious, transformed into magic of the heart, unlike those in the physical world, create a field of flowers whose scents are saving countless lost souls."

— 2025

"Emotional depth does not come from pain alone, but from nearly unbearable pain that has been made sacred."

— 2025

"It no longer feels like a coincidence. By the time one finally has something meaningful to say and offer the world, the old audience is long gone. All that’s left is silence and endured truth—a path necessary for self-awakening."

— 2025

"One is always aware of the dreadful state of the world, yet one is only open to profound transformation when the pre-assumed distress is actively pressed upon them to a degree where there is no escape and near elimination."

— 2025

"Did one notice the unease one felt for the mere amount of solitary ego one retained, only for the short-lived stability of the mind."

— 2025

"It’s naturally consequential when one decides to betray their own soul, yet can never betray or erase the human nature of self-reflection, regardless of how little morality or awareness their previous actions were based on."

— 2025

"We don’t gain nearly as much confidence from possessing a world of knowledge as we do from having deeply suffered."

— 2025

"We’ve been tirelessly fighting what’s freely given to us by the universe our entire lives, yet we’ve never been granted the privilege to understand it through itself."

— 2025

"Most minds will still inevitably operate within effort-to-reward cycles that society has subconsciously infused into them."

"True comfort then resides in fate and unpredictability, for the mind’s illusion of control always proves itself unattainable."

— 2025

"Repetition and shifting perspectives of thought are not only necessary but vital for the effectiveness, acceptance, and transformation of the soul."

— 2025

"The relativity of all things fundamentally fueled the unpredictability of life and existence (When all things can only be comprehended in relation, we realize that our perceptual limitations are the very trigger of most unpredictability in life)."

— 2025

"The never-erasable urge to want to believe the world as what it used to be is sometimes all the proof you need of a soul worth carefully preserving."

— 2025

"Life—and very often someone—will always give us just enough reasons, no matter how small the guidance or hope, to keep moving and believe that the lonely road you're on is worth the pain."

— 2025

"The most painful experiences in one’s life often give birth to the most beautiful memories of the past."

— 2025

"The difference between talking about oneself and sharing one’s soul is staggering, is frightening, and is one of the most profound distinctions in human expression. One occasionally fills the ego; the other has the potential to permanently break oneself."

— 2025

"A pretended well-being and belonging never fix the emptiness at the core or the decay of the soul."

— 2025

Why, at the very beginning of your journey, have you always speaked more about life than love?

"Love is more important than life, and yet it is an inseparable part of life. It’s difficult to talk about love when your entire life only exists because of it, isn’t it?"

— 2025

"How have they never noticed? Is it fitting? Is it fate? Is it the only path to you? Their intuition, guided by previously unrecognized emotions, has always been the fundamental truth behind everything they do."

— 2025

"We wrote stories so our hearts would have a sacred place to rest—with love, with magic, with that one person."

— 2025

"If one is to corrupt and damage their own soul, they would have nothing to hold onto when everything else collapses in life. And the most heartbreaking part about this life is that everything is always going to collapse, eventually."

— 2025

"The moment one finally joins the emotional and spiritual depth of the greats is the moment one no longer cares to compare oneself to others. It becomes a state of being, a state of offering, a state of clarity and truth."

— 2025

"It hurts me to tell you that maybe you were born only to give and feel love—but never to receive it in a way that speaks to your soul."

— 2025

"Empathy lets one know that their legacy is already—and always—everywhere in this world."

— 2025

"Prolonged solitude is often a far more effective tool for dissolving the ego and the illusion of progress than simply being proven wrong."

— 2025

"We have learned to accept things created during different mental states, for that is how others experience the world. That is when one’s creation becomes whole—when imperfections become perfections."

— 2025

"A life-changing story is very often one where grace is presented in a way never seen before."

— 2025

"When the ego is weathered down by life, by thoughts, by love, something breathtaking begins to take shape—a divine realization, a once-in-a-lifetime purity of heart. In that moment, the meaning of life can finally be found."

— 2025

"It’s sadly very often the case that the vibe of a subject outweighs the substance of the subject to a living creature. Yet fortunately, the universe does not operate by the same rule it designed for its creations."

— 2025

"Your capability to sit with your thoughts, morality, life choices, and love in utter silence is all the proof you need of your character."

— 2025

"Have you ever imagined that the joy you felt as a child, just from witnessing other people’s happiness, would one day become the very soul of the life you've built."

— 2025

"We still suffer a cost simply for imagining others as malicious and impure, whether it’s their true nature or not."

— 2025

"It’s going to get harder and harder to find peace in reality as we get older, and that’s okay. That’s when we find new ways to see things, and the world becomes a lot more beautiful because of it."

— 2025

"The most spiritual feeling of love is perhaps the only human experience in this universe that is free from comparison—neither rooted in knowledge nor achievement, simply a purest form of being. It is two quietly looking, wanting nothing more, finally whole, and possessing the utter courage to close their eyes together for eternity."

— 2025

"Unawareness of one’s potential, feelings, and transformation is the essential condition for a journey guided by destiny."

— 2025

"It’s always been a good sign when one, once in a while, questions whether they’re living up to the thoughts formed during different intensified periods of consciousness."

— 2025

"The heartfelt realization that follows prolonged suffering remains one of the most powerful ways to transform life into a matured fairy tale."

— 2025

"After you got hurt so deeply all these years, did you ever forget that the world you are currently living in has more than 8 billion souls."

— 2025

"A brief soul-matched exchange of words outweighs decades of survival-based companionship."

— 2025

"I think you’ll never fully get over why some people don’t understand certain things—why they aren’t willing to care more deeply, to have a greater purpose than their own survival, or to embrace greater integrity in their souls. But that’s also where the beauty in you shines so quietly."

— 2025

"Nothing. Truth is handled by the universe—not by us. It is there whether we share it or not, whether people live it or not. It’s there. We may believe we've uncovered it, but it has always been there, unmoved. It’s always, forever there—until the end of all things.

And yet, somehow, it is there as if it were never there at all."

— 2025

"If many people in this world are deprived of their social instincts, subjected to significant suffering, and stripped of everything that matters to them—regardless of gender—they will all become monsters, succumbing to their most basic animal instincts.

Those who do not are the rare saints for whom life has always been bigger than themselves, than ideas, than reaction. They are the universe, they are the loneliness, and they are the suffering itself.

And they are the ones who would rather end their own life than commit an act of unholiness."

— 2025

"We all pay a price for clinging to what we have with the wrong intention."

— 2025

"How many times you pray that everyone could just sincerely wish the best for others."

— 2025

"What’s sometimes terrifying is that you can almost always find a reason to legitimize a thought, no matter how absurd it might appear—even to a well-suffered mind. Hence, the matured intuition tends to overpower logic in the pursuit of ultimate truth, if it ever exists at all."

— 2025

"Most pain in love comes from a mismatch of consciousness, existential empathy and self-awareness."

— 2025

"With all of these emotions, we have finally learned we are not strong enough, and we were never strong enough, but so aren’t this life."

— 2025

"It’s such a painful and relieving realization, to know that depth only exists in comparison."

— 2025

"We all try to find a place to belong, only to realize loneliness is inevitable wherever we go. So we learned to cultivate a garden wherever we stood—for it is the only way to peace."

— 2025

"Talking to people to fulfill a psychological need is not difficult. What makes it hard is talking to people while feeling compelled to prioritize their emotional well-being above all else throughout the entire conversation."

— 2025

"True wisdom and maturity often lie in concealment—of everything, of sacred knowing—but always for the good, never for oneself, always for others."

— 2025

"I don’t need to know every single thoughts in your head, just show me the most beautiful ones and I will remember you this way."

— 2025
