“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly. It’s not the shattering itself that breaks you—it’s the silence that follows, the quiet space where you realize there’s nothing left to salvage. And in that moment, you know that you’ll never be the same again. You’ll build something new, perhaps, but it will never be what you lost.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
