Be aware: some of our advice is not to be taken literally. This is comedy, after all. Ahead are a series of satirical stories and essays that can be applied to your own life as you see fit. You know, like the Bible.
“How would you like it if someone told you to cut yourself open and rearrange your body parts? That then you could be normal?”

“When someone dies, everything about them becomes past tense. Except for the grief. Grief stays in the present. It’s even worse when you’re angry at the person. Not just for dying. But for how.”
― Firekeeper's Daughter

“Our bodies and minds are always working together, but we don’t always treat them as two equally important parts of who we are. It is far easier, for example, to take a day off from life because of the flu than it is to take one off because of having a case of the sads. But both of these things are valid and have a tremendous impact on how we move through the world.”

“When I had my gallbladder removed in 2010, no one dismissed me because a part of my digestive system was faulty. No one listened to something I had to say and responded, “He can’t be trusted—he doesn’t have a gallbladder.” Yet this happens all too frequently with those who live with mental illness. We are dismissed, distrusted, told our thoughts are not our own.”

“Stop saying the c-word." Moritz, I'm not looking for a cure. Really, I can't imagine being someone who didn't see the world how I do. Can you imagine if someone tried to hand you some eyeballs? You'd flush them down a toilet. With dignity.
As a kid, I daydreamed about being normal, like kids with glasses still daydream about being astronauts. Daydreams aren't realistic. I only wanted normal because I thought normal was a word that meant "surviving the world.”
