You want a reason to live? Look in the mirror darling…
“You want a reason to live? Look in the mirror darling. Those eyes you see can be the eyes someone can't forget even for a second. Those lips you see can be someone's secret desire. That nose you see can be kissed goodnight by someone. Those cheeks are meant for somebody to hold them and say: As of today touching your face is going to be one of the only activities that I can do and be happy while doing it. That chin is meant to rest on that someone's shoulder, whenever they're sad, or angry, or sleepy, it doesn't matter. Whether you're alive or not truly counts. Don't you think that if you end it, the chances of life getting better would shatter completely?”
