“What people don't understand when you've already been a suicide and pulled through is that after the sadness comes fear: Where is my mind going with this? I don't want to die. I do not want to die. When you don't have so much control over your own thoughts, over the myriad voices in your head, you don't know where they could go.”

“My radar, after all these years of sanity, is still off when it comes to what people do or don't mean.”

“I want you to stay. I never want there to be a time when we don't share space.”

“You cannot know where your people are going if you don't know where your people have been.”

“I don't want to go to university. I don't like unity and I hate verses. I just love the choruses of songs. ”

“When you live with voices in your head, you are drawn inextricably to voices outside your head. Very often the voices work to confirm your worst suspicions. Or think of things you could never have imagined! There are only so many hours of the day to hate yourself.”

“You could be together forever, but one of you is going to have to go first. I want it to last. I love him and I want it to stay.”
