“And you're fifteen - fresh-face and terrified of failure - when it first makes itself known to you, this gaping hole inside you. By the time you notice, it's too late, a precipice inside your own mind that calls to you whenever you feel like you're not enough, that sings about how much easier the dark is, how nice it might feel to step off.”
― Em X. Liu, The Death I Gave Him
