“The mistake people often make about pain is that larger ones inure you to little ones. False. It all hurts. Big or little. And the more you endure in life, the more you become aware of it all. Pain is pain. It’s all valid. It’s all felt.”
― R.R. Virdi, The First Binding

“There's a story behind everything and everyone-powerful tales, even if they don't seem it on the surface. There's power in stories. There's magic in them. And each person's life is a story itself, and with that, every person carries magic within them.”
― R.R. Virdi, The First Binding

“The number never changes. It will rain as hard and often as it’s wont to do. The only thing we can change is whether or not we will learn to sing in the rain. For it will rain all the same.”

“Everyone wants their story to matter,
and they do. But some people forget that. Everyone wants someone, just that right someone, to listen attentively with wonder and happiness to the greater moments of their life. And everyone wants someone who'll sit by and listen without judgement over the moments we fell. Especially when we've gone too far, at least for ourselves.”
― R.R. Virdi, The First Binding

“Good job, Robin,â€� she quipped. I glared. There is no reality, no train of thought, no plane of existence where I am not the goddamned Batman. I kept this to myself, of course. Batman doesn’t tell others he’s Batman. Everyone just knows it. And they should. I”

“One hundred years of age doesn’t mean you have to bury your inner child. You age better if you hold onto a little petulance and let it out now and again.”

“I’ve found over the years there is more truth in a child’s dreams than grown men and women seem to realize. More often than not, we forget these truths as we grow older and are stuck fishing for them blindly.”

“Every winter it snows and rains as it always has, but every time it does, people forget how to drive, despite having lived there all their lives.”

“Fear is the poison that erodes resolve. And fear is not without a killer of its own. Hope.”

“It was then I learned one of the saddest things in life is to forget what gives us breath. We get caught in the madness of life. We begin to bury our finest impulses and desires. And with them, each man kills the thing he loves. Slowly, with timid choices and bitter rue. An old but potent poison, well tested and long true. It’s never a dive or with one fell fall that we jump to kill our joys—one and all. But bit by bit. We chip away at all that makes us whole. Till time and tide take their toll. And leave us weary worn and tattered torn.”
― R.R. Virdi, The First Binding

“Sometimes you need to fall back and have a laugh. If you don’t, things can get pretty dark. You have to enjoy the bits in between the long, dark patches. Otherwise, what’s the point? Laugh a little when you can; it won’t kill you.”

“Of course, but you humans have always been adept at deluding yourselves. You’ll tell any number of outrageous lies in order to believe what you want, what you can.”

“I hadn’t quite learned the lesson yet as a child, but life is filled with storms. The number never changes. It will rain as hard and often as it’s wont to do. The only thing we can change is whether or not we will learn to sing in the rain. For it will rain all the same.”

“A wry smile came over her face. “That’ll do, pig. That’ll do,â€� and then her voice turned to a whisper, “thanks.â€� I”

“Sometimes people don't need a hand to climb out of weariness and despair. They need an ear. Occasionally, saying the right things. But mostly, many need to be heard more than they need to be talked to. And a storyteller's craft is more in listening to his audience than speaking. Watching them. Thearing the secret tells and yearnings of their hearts.”
― R.R. Virdi, The First Binding

“But friendship isn't one of life's little luxuries.

It's a necessity.

To go through the world without the closest of friends is like walking it with a missing leg, with no crutch to be found when you need that support.

Friends are the breath left to us when we run out of our own. They're the mirrors we need when we cannot see ourselves clearly. They point out our little flaws and, in times, the larger ones we must tend to. And, of course, they help us out of trouble as much as they help us into it. They are the truest form of reciprocation.

You may think me callow for describing friendship in this way. That I demean friendship--make it seem like an exchange. But you are wrong. Friends are the ones willing and most able to give anything--everything when they can. And you do the same. It is never said. But it is the unspoken agreement in friendship. A reciprocation of feelings--actions. Of time.

Which, I have learned over the course of my life, is an alternate way of spelling the word "love." People want time given to them--for them. For it's a kind of love the world is in all too short supply of. And for that, they will love you back. That is friendship.”

“She looked like she was struggling to find words. “Some people didn’t make it out.â€� A melancholy look overcame her beautiful features.”

“I pleaded which isn’t begging. It’s asking with a desperate passionâ€� it’s not begging, it just isn’t. Pride”

“Everyone has stories they’ve collected inside them, and one of the most important things you can do is let those be given voice. People need to be able to share their memories with an audience that cares.”
― R.R. Virdi, The First Binding

“It’s hard to know what to even dream of and hope for when the life you live is one you’ve been handed by others. Some people are molded too early in life and they never get a chance to become the person they could have been. They never know them. And we’re all the poorer for it. The world certainly is.”
― R.R. Virdi, The First Binding

“How are you feeling?"
"Like I fell out a burning building onto pavement, you?" I grumbled.
"Like I was pushed out of a burning building by a maniac," she retorted, a small smile playing across her face.”

And each person’s life is a story itself, and with that, every person carries magic within them. And all of us are taught over the years how to forget it—lose it.”
