Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

"Walls have ears. Doors have eyes. Trees have voices. Beasts tell lies. Beware the rain. Beware the snow. Beware the man You think you know."

When I say,I'd die rather than being tied. I mean it,what is life if not whole? If not yours? I believe,everyone is born free and no one shall take that away from them,not even the one who gave them birth,let your children fly freely in the sky,worrying is okay but don't let them be afraid of the dark sky or scorching sun,teach them love,strength,care and acceptance. But all I see around is hatred and when I open my wings,"don't go too far" my mother blurts out. I understand her but I despise myself for understanding her. I count my every step as if I I'm walking away from her heart and I love her too well to cross it. So I stay,love cages us,I believe but it is the thing that too sets us free,for it teaches us to live,survive,it teaches us to change,it teaches us what is pain. And freedom and love can't go hand in hand; but what if I want both of them,together?
