'I’m a paradox. I want to be happy, but I think of things that make me sad. I’m lazy, yet I’m ambitious. I don’t like myself, but I also love who I am. I say I don’t care, but I really do. I crave attention, but reject it when it comes my way. I’m a conflicted contradiction. If I can’t figure myself out, there’s no way anyone else has.'

'Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say ‘My tooth is aching’ than to say ‘My heart is broken.’'

'My sadness was never beautiful, it was swallowing 36 pills and laughing like I was fine.'

'she took off her pride and pain was all that’s left covering her.'

'It’s not a sad story; it’s just a tired one, a story that forgot its words, a story too wrinkled to be young and too loud to be old. A story ill of being untold'

'Don’t you ever, tame your demons, But always keep them on a leash.'
