Κοίτα, Μικρέ, τ' αστεράκια πώς λάμπουνε στον ουρανό. Ξέρεις πως πολλά απ΄ αυτά έχουν πεθάνει εδώ και χρόνια πια; Τα βλέπεις όμως πώς φωτίζουν ακόμα στον ουρανό; Η αγάπη είναι σαν τ' αστέρια: ποτέ δεν πεθαίνει και πάντα φωτίζει. → Small look at the stars – how they shine and glow, but some of those stars died a long time ago. Still they shine in the evening skies. Love, like starlight, never dies

Xειμών βαρύς, οικία καταρρέουσα, καρδία ρημασμένη. Mοναξία, ανία, κόσμος βαρύς, κακός, ανάλγητος. Yγεία κατεστραμμένη. Σώμα βασανισμένον, φθαρμένον, σωθικά λυωμένα. Δεν ημπορούσε πλέον να ζήση, να αισθανθή, να χαρή.

I miss the days when you had one phone number and one answering machine and that one answering machine has one cassette tape and that one cassette tape either had a message from a guy or it didn't. And now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It's exhausting.
