* “With a pen, with a text, with a writing. Swearing and killing someone is easy. But the thing which follows a “word” is “responsibility”. So does that mean that you can swear or kill someone w/ a word while being responsible for it? I don’t think that’s the reason why a “word” exists.”

* “It’s easy to spit our words, it’s hard to turn around and find a way to pick them up.. but the one thing I know is no matter what kind of words I spit out, I need to be responsible for them.”

* “In order to avoid hurting people rather than using literal words I’d try to find words that were a bit more loose and now.. My mind is filled with words that it has become an encyclopedia. I want to empty out my mind just a little. I want to make one clean page.”

* “We’re all looking for a shoulder, a person we can just tell how we feel to and lean on. But never think of being that shoulder or giving out your heart first. All you’ll do is anticipate. That’s how we only keep everything wrapped up in our minds. Because of the frustration from not being able to unwrap it, you’ll end up leaving that place.”

* “To pluck up the courage and open your heart, and embrace someone else’s heart is difficult.”

* “Even though we can’t be holding hands right now, even though we can’t be looking each other in the eyes right now, I can feel it in my heart. The thing that I can do is that I can pray.

* “Sometimes you have to bite the bullet. Not only must you learn to accept their gaze with your eyes but also with your heart.”

* "When you start opening up something.. even if you swear it, it’s not easy to close it again after. This applies to everything. Especially, even more to ones’ relating to the “heart”.

* “Be careful with everything so that it won’t get broken. If it seems like it’s going to get broken, bring it to get repaired. There are times when you miss some things you’ve thrown away because they couldn’t get repaired. You feel the longing. You can understand why that item malfunctioned and why it broke down completely. People’s emotions are just like that.”

* “I don’t have time” is just an excuse. Just do it!!!!”

* “I feel that as long as you keep running towards your dreams and wish, they’ll come true one day. Hard work will not betray ourselves”
