Sure, I'll Join Your Cult: A Memoir of Mental Illness and the Quest to Belong Anywhere

by Maria Bamford

there’s always going to be a black sheep and it may as well be you. Do whatever you want. If

just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you will enjoy it. It just means that you will be good at it.

IT IS OKAY NOT TO BE GOOD AT THINGS DESPITE ONGOING, TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF EFFORT AND DESIRE TO IMPROVE.

I cling to the philosophy of creative visualization and the great mantra “Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

LOWER THE BAR! GET ANY KIND OF SHITTY-ASS HELP.

Please don’t hurt yourself or anyone else. Do something else instead. Even if it’s harmful! Suicide is a one-off.
