I closed my eyes and let out a scream so loud it took every ounce of strength I had. But it never left my body. It reverberated soundlessly inside, tearing through me, shutting down my heart. Everything inside my head turned white for a moment as the scream penetrated my every cell. Something inside me died. Something melted away, leaving only a shuddering vacuum. An explosive flash incinerated everything my existence depended on.

- Haruki Murakami

Powerful words.

This is probably what it feels like when you keep everything to yourself. One day you will explode and your tiny shell can only contain all the destruction and no one will know about it.

Strangely, I could almost feel it inside me when I read it.

I love Murakami's books because they make me think hard. It's pretty much challenging for me to decipher his hidden meanings in between.
