No, I’m not a bitch.
I’ve just been through a few things,
Seen a few things, been there and done that.
Yes, I guess I’m cold now.
But only because I once gave a damn
About someone who didn't give a damn about me.
I've built a wall around myself,
To protect my heart from more hurt and damage.
I won’t believe you if you tell me you’re different.
Unless you stick around and prove it.
Words no longer mean a thing,
Your actions are everything.
And once the storm is over,
you won’t remember how you made it through,
how you managed to survive.
You won’t even be sure,
whether the storm is really over.
But one thing is certain.
When you come out of the storm,
you won’t be the same person who walked in.
That’s what this storm’s all about.
- Haruki Murakami
