Not feeling anything's an attractive option when what you feel sucks.
It never is. People are gonna tell you who you are your whole life. You just gotta punch back and say, «No, this is who I am». You want people to look at you differently? Make them.

— Stories. Stories? What's a story? When you were in high school, did you learn about the civil war?

— No matter what the circumstances, for 28 years, I only knew one thing... that my parents sent me away.
— We did that to give you your best chance.
— You did it for everyone because that's who you are... leaders, heroes, princes and princesses, and that's great and... and amazing and... wonderful, but it doesn't change the fact that for my entire life I've been alone.
— But if we hadn't sent you away, you would have been cursed, too.
— But we would've been together. Which curse is worse?
I'm a real person. And I'm no savior. You were right about one thing, though. I wanted you to have your best chance. But it's not with me.
— Swan. Don't make a man drink alone.
