    “Dropping in and out of your own life (for psychotic breaks, or treatment in a hospital) isn’t like getting off a train at one stop and later getting back on at another. Even if you can get back on (and the odds are not in your favor), you’re lonely there. The people you boarded with originally are far, far ahead of you, and now you’re stuck playing catch-up.”

    “It is a Someday,
    when we’re gray and
    lined like handwritten scripture –
    we sit content to lose our memories
    and minds
    together, glowing brightly, in and out of time”
    Robin Sinclair, Letters to My Lover From Behind Asylum Walls
