It’s funny to be a prisoner of yourself. Like you’re being bullied by your own mind and you’re afraid of it, but it’s also you and it’s extremely confusing.

I don’t know why, but watching someone else break made me feel a lot less broken.

Do me one last favor before you go. Go look in your eyes. Do you see the yellow rings around your pupils? I always think of a star emerging from the darkness. Maybe a supernova.

Friends are important. You spend a lot of time with them. But you spend way more time with yourself. If keeping a friend means doing something that makes you not like yourself, then it's a bad idea.

The point is this: I have issues. But that's my thing. I'm working on it. Nobody else gets to tell me what I am.
