" I feel... numb. After something this intense, everything else just... Things that would have had you up in arms before now seem so utterly trivial. Nothing really matters. You start to ignore little things, because they're little things. You compromise. You rationalize. Soon you look at yourself in the mirror and you don't recognize the person staring back at you.
But, you know. I'm alive. I'm OK. I wake up every day, and I get out of bed thinking today might be just a bit better than yesterday. Most of the time it is. Show must go on, as they say. "
― Sylvain Neuvel , Sleeping Giants (Themis Files, #1)
