I counted the living and gathered them within me and the light that broke through embraced all the life that I had within me...
~ Linda Boström Knausgård
The minutes felt as long as years and I couldn't be in the sort of time that didn't move, that instead stood still and all I could think of was being allowed to die, being allowed to cut the thread of time forever.
Eternity. Isn't that word terrifying?
