If you say you can't, you won't!The only thing holding you back from success is yourself.
Given the situation I had gotten myself into, I just chose the path that seemed most likely to succeed and did the best I could. But Shota died so suddenly. His death ripped open a deep fissure in my life. It was a cruel and heedless truth that I will never be able to comprehend. No matter what I do, I cannot change it. Is there any meaning in this world where Shota could die such an inexplicable death? That fissure spread through me unexpectedly. A responsible person would probably tell me to smile even though he__ gone. They__ probably say Shota, even though he was only a child, would have wanted me to lead a good life. But I don__ need to hear those words. This world is overflowing with hackneyed expressions like that. They can comfort most people, but they make me suffer. Words that most people nod along to make those who can__ nod along suffer. They alienate them. What about words that can reach someone like me? Do those exist? I am twisted. I can__ look at the world straight. But why am still trying to live on? Even though I think it would be better to curse the world, smile perversely and die.
