People aren’t broken, and therapists couldn’t fix them if they were. But maybe someone can make things a little better, or help them be a little happier.
This whole section has resonated with a ton of people, and I couldn’t feel prouder about that. But when I think about it, I wrote the quotes on this page because I needed to hear them. While I was drafting and revising this book, my anxiety was worse than it’d ever been, and I felt so broken. I wanted to “fix” myself, and the treatments I was trying weren’t working. It was through writing this scene I was able to change my own perspective of “fixing” myself. Now, like Cal, I just aim to make things better.
