The Mental Illness Happy Hour

“I’m just dying to say, ‘Hey, do you ever feel like jumping off a bridge?’ or “Do you feel an emptiness inside your chest at night that is going to swallow you?” But you can’t say that at a cocktail party.”  

- Paul Gilmartin, The Mental Illness Happy Hour

"Was Daedalus really stricken with grief when Icarus fell into the sea? Or just disappointed in the design failure?" Alison Bechdel, Fun Home

The Best People

We can never know what to want...

“We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come.”  

- Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

It's Provocative

“We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life.” - Tennessee Williams

Beautiful Chaos

Your first kiss isn’t as important as your last. The math test really didn’t matter. The pie really did. The stuff you’re good at and the stuff you’re bad at are just different parts of the same thing. Same goes for the people you love and the people you don’t—and the people who love you and the people who don’t. The only thing that mattered was that you cared about a few people. Life is really, really short.
