1 " Mental imbalance is about as acceptable as herpes. It’s never going to be accepted. But really, it’s a disease just like cancer. It just happens, and eats away all the good parts of your brain, like judgment and happiness and perception and memory and life. And you can die from depression just like any other disease. And it’s not as if people choose it. So why is it still a joke of medicine? “She died of cancer.” is a lot more socially acceptable to people than “She committed suicide. "

You would rather remain on the floor, spilled, tracked over, something that would have made a nice conversation piece, a thing of beauty, if someone has allowed it to. You would rather be broken glass in my feet than the looking glass I peer into every day. "
5 " The man who once said I was the best thing to ever happened to him no longer even cares that he is making cry. He is breaking my heart. He is making me hurt more than anyone ever has because I am for some reason willing to put up with it, and think somehow it’s my own fault, that I have done something to make him hate me. "
