    “Mental illness

    People assume you aren’t sick
    unless they see the sickness on your skin
    like scars forming a map of all the ways you’re hurting.

    My heart is a prison of Have you tried?s
    Have you tried exercising? Have you tried eating better?
    Have you tried not being sad, not being sick?
    Have you tried being more like me?
    Have you tried shutting up?

    Yes, I have tried. Yes, I am still trying,
    and yes, I am still sick.

    Sometimes monsters are invisible, and
    sometimes demons attack you from the inside.
    Just because you cannot see the claws and the teeth
    does not mean they aren’t ripping through me.
    Pain does not need to be seen to be felt.

    Telling me there is no problem
    won’t solve the problem.

    This is not how miracles are born.
    This is not how sickness works.”
    Emm Roy, The First Step

    Anaïs Nin
    “Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
    Anais Nin

    Lemony Snicket
    “It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.”
    Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
