Absum

[a-b-s-u-m]

I avoid myself. Why? I'm afraid. Okay. Afraid of what? Finding too much. Too little. Nothing at all.

Mr.Robot, S01 E08

[a-b-s-u-m]

What do normal people do when they get this sad?

Mr. Robot; S01 E01

[a-b-s-u-m]

 I have always liked my people a bit damaged. A bit rough around the edges. A bit difficult to stereotype. A bit stranger than the normal crowd. I like people whose eyes tell stories and whose smiles have fought through wars.

I met you in the dark, you lit me up. You made me feel as though I was enough.

James Arthur, Say You Won't Let Go

[a-b-s-u-m]

I know I've lost my mind. But I'm not concerned, because it's the first thing I've lost in a long time that actually feels good.

Jonathan Evison, The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving

[a-b-s-u-m]

I'll never stop caring. But the thing about caring is, it's inconvenient. Sometimes you've got to give when it makes no sense to at all. Sometimes you've got to give until it hurts.

Jonathan Evison, The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving

[a-b-s-u-m]

Everything you think you know, every relationship you've ever taken for granted, every plan or possibility you've ever hatched, every conceit or endeavor you've ever concocted, can be stripped from you in an instant. Sooner or later, it will happen. So prepare yourself. Be ready not to be ready. Be ready to be brought to your knees and beaten to dust. Because no stable foundation, no act of will, no force of cautious habit will save you from this fact: nothing is indestructible.

Jonathan Evison, The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving

[a-b-s-u-m]

Why don't you tell me that 'if the girl had been worth having she'd have waited for you'? No, sir, the girl really worth having won't wait for anybody.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

[a-b-s-u-m]

Very few things matter and nothing matters very much.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise

[a-b-s-u-m]

I've always dreamt of travel Why should we die where we were born?

Lukas Graham, Take The World By Storm

[a-b-s-u-m]

What did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me? I think and think and think. I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.

Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

[a-b-s-u-m]

Songs are as sad as the listener.

Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

[a-b-s-u-m]

Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.

Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

[a-b-s-u-m]

I have reached the point of being tired of being tired.

Rick Yancey, The 5th Wave

[a-b-s-u-m]

I find over the course of our human existence One thing consists of consistence And it's that we're all battling fear

Car Radio, Twenty One Pilots

[a-b-s-u-m]

Sometimes quiet is violent

Car Radio, Twenty One Pilots

[a-b-s-u-m]

I’m not all that smart. It takes me a while to understand things. But if I do have the time, I will come to understand you — better than anyone else in the world.

Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
