Summary

This quote suggests that excessive self-awareness and pride can create a distance between oneself and others. When consumed by vanity and self-consciousness, an individual may perceive themselves as being above the innocent and trusting love that comes from a pure heart. This implies that being too absorbed in one's self-image can hamper genuine connections and prevent the experience of authentic, loving relationships that stem from a place of simplicity and honest affection.

I could still smell her on my fur. It clung to me, a memory

I could still smell her on my fur. It clung to me, a memory of another world.I was drunk with it, with the scent of her. I'd got too close.The smell of summer on her skin, the half-recalled cadence of her voice, the sensation of her fingers on my fur. Every bit of me sang with the memory of her closeness.Too close.I couldn't stay away.
