"Reasons to Stay Alive" Quotes
By Matt Haig

You are on another planet. No one understands what you are going through. But actually, they do. You don’t think they do because the only reference point is yourself. You have never felt this way before, and the shock of the descent is traumatising you, but others have been here. You are in a dark, dark land with a population of millions.

你在另一个星球上。没有人理解你正在经历什么。但实际上，他们是理解的。你不认为他们理解，因为唯一的参照点是你自己。你从未有过这样的感觉，下降的震惊让你感到创伤，但其他人也曾经历过。你身处一片黑暗的土地上，那里居住着数以百万计的人。
