Most things are forgotten over time. Even the war itself, the life-and-death struggle people went through, is now like something from the distant past. We're so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past, like ancient stars that have burned out, are no longer in orbit around our minds. There are just too many things we have to think about every day, too many new things we have to learn. New styles, new information, new technology, new terminology ... But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us forever, like a touchstone. And for me, what happened in the woods that day is one of these.

Memories, War, Struggle

"Kafka on the Shore". Book by Haruki Murakami, 2002.

In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive.

Life Lesson, Struggle, Return

Haruki Murakami (2011). “Kafka On The Shore”, p.173, Random House

Struggle, Heart, Light

Haruki Murakami (2011). “Norwegian Wood”, p.37, Random House

Death was not the opposite of life. It was already here, within my being, it had always been here, and no struggle would permit me to forget that.

Struggle, Opposites, Forget

Haruki Murakami (2011). “Norwegian Wood”, p.30, Random House

I always feel like I'm struggling to become someone else. Like I'm trying to find a new place, grab hold of a new life, a new personality. I guess it's part of growing up; it's also an attempt to reinvent myself.
