The house gulped in a big breath of fresh air, like some frantic drowning thing breaking the water's surface and gasping for life. It had sat unopened for so long, suffocating in the silence, it's memories blanketed by a thick layer of dust.

About This Quote

Even the smallest of things can be used to take in a deep breath of fresh air. A house suffocates when it’s memories are buried under a thick layer of dust and all one finds after is a shriveled up husk. The same thing happens when someone judges their life and finds it lacking and finds themselves thinking about what they should have done and what they could have done different.
