Orson De WittThere was the emptiness of space I was afraid to fall into, but the only real fear I’d ever actually had was to dive into the emptiness inside of myself.
About This Quote
When I read this quote, I imagined the writer was sitting at the end of a long straight road, with nothing but space behind him. He was afraid to fall into that emptiness (I imagined the “space” was nothingness) because he knew that he would lose himself there. That emptiness was his personal hell. If you don't want to fall into this abyss, you should learn to love yourself. If you don't love yourself, this emptiness will be so powerful you will feel like you are falling into it.
