Empty space Quote by Inger Iversen
““It’s like there is an empty space in your heart, and though it’s a void, it weighs you down. Each step you take through life gets harder and harder until finally you realize you are no longer the person that person once loved, that you are the hollow space in your heart. You fear that you will never be able to give yourself to someone the same way you gave yourself to the person you lost. You often find yourself angry at the world for continuing on as if a bright light was never extinguished.””
