“Never forget today.
So, don’t forget any of it
Remember it all and overcome it
If you don’t overcome it,
You’ll always be a kid
Whose soul never grows”
“Only those with such memories
Buried deep in their hearts
Can become stronger,
More passionate,
And emotionally flexible.
And only does can attain happiness”
-The boy who fed on nightmares
