Known


I’d rather be known by no one and loved deeply by one person than being known by everyone and not close to anyone.

It’s a curious desire to be known, because it seems to nothing for oneself. Yet it’s craved by nearly everyone.

I want to be seen, but I think most people don’t understand that being seen clearly and deeply by one person is worth more than being looked at by the entire world.
