“I wake up one day and it’s twenty-plus years later, and here I am still. That’s getting left behind. And even then, you can have a decent life. You know why I’m still here? It’s because I’m content. Maybe even happy. I found my path. My life is simple. I wake up in the morning. I eat my Cheerios, drink my coffee, think my thoughts. I go home after work and sit on my back patio and pet my dog and listen to music and myself breathing. It feels good to be alive and exist. Most things haven’t worked out for me - especially love - but that’s all right. I’m not as pretty as I used to be. More of my life’s behind me than in front of me. Who knows how many years I took off it while I was partying. But I’m a lot healthier now, if you can believe it.
“I get lonely sometimes, but so does everyone else. We’re all looking for some sort of salvation in something sometimes we try to find it in people. We find out salvation, and it slips through our fingers. We find it again. We get left behind. Living is hurting, but I’ll take living over the alternative any day. Consciousness is a marvelous gift. It took almost dying to make me realize that. Hell, I’m just rambling now. Anyway, having said all this, you did not get left behind.”
― Jeff Zentner, Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee

― Michael Bassey Johnson, The Book of Maxims, Poems and Anecdotes

“I always find it curious to discover a home left as if in a state of interrupted daily life, with clothes still hanging like flaccid skins in a closet. Despite the rubble of personal effects, I can imagine someone sitting in their favorite chair, smoking an evening cigarette, or tinkering on their best friend’s truck in the garage.”
― Mike Correll, Abandoned Sulphur, Louisiana

“How apart she felt, how apart she had felt for years, and she wished it was a feeling she could get used to. But it wasn’t. One by one, everyone else her age had married and had children, yet for her, the years of her twenties had slipped away, waving at her like hands from a leaving train. As they all moved on, she was left standing on the platform, absolutely alone, surrounded only by the smoke that stung her eyes and throat.
It was no different now.”
― Corinne Beenfield, The Ocean's Daughter :

“And over such a trivial issue, after all their years together! She couldn't even exactly remember the issue! Why that particular one? Why not any of the hundreds of others?

Once again Michael hesitated, but then he turned toward the foyer. She heard the front door latch, and a moment later his car lights lit up and backed out of the driveway. She went on staring straight ahead of her. She had a slippery, off-balance feeling, the feeling a person might get if she were sitting on a stopped train and the train next to hers started gliding away and she wasn't sure, for a second, whether it was her train or the other one that was moving.”
― Anne Tyler, The Amateur Marriage

“Happiness Does Not Depend on Circumstances but On the Heart,". The quote speaks to a powerful truth about resilience and inner strength. It suggests that while life's circumstances—whether pleasant or painful—are often out of our control, our internal state, rooted in our heart and mindset, determines whether we find peace and joy.

In Lasciato Indietro (Left Behind), this message reflects the journey of facing abandonment, loss, and the struggle of navigating parenthood in difficult times. The heart, with its capacity for hope, forgiveness, and self-acceptance, becomes a sanctuary that external hardships can’t easily shake. By nurturing these qualities, one can find happiness even when circumstances are challenging. The ultimate message is clear: happiness is less about what happens to us and more about how we choose to respond, anchored by what we carry in our hearts.”
― Dino Tropea, Lasciato Indietro
