Wow. Anyone who has been through any sort of emotional suffering can definitely relate to this. It is something I thought (sometimes still do think) often and it's such a horror. These 2 lines are extremely powerful and say so much. Love it!

This is exactly what goes through my head when anything bad happens. This is a good message in so few words.
