“As I’ve gotten older, though, I’ve gradually come to the realization that this kind of pain and hurt is a necessary part of life. If you think about it, it’s precisely because people are different from others that they’re able to create their own independent selves… Emotional hurt is the price a person has to pay in order to be independent.”
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami, p. 19
