4 Quotes by Shiori Itō

I'm accepting all the emotions. I try to recognize what's going on, because I'm the only one who can feel [it], and so what I'm trying to do is, whenever I feel--discover this negative emotion, I tell myself, 'I believe you. I'm believing myself. This is what happened.' [...] I just accept it and listen to myself.

I felt as though everything inside me had been obliterated.However much I tried, however much I wanted to go back to being who I was before, it was impossible--all that was left was an empty husk of my former self.
