Also, I could finally sleep. And this was the real gift, because when you cannot sleep, you cannot get yourself out of the ditch--there's not a chance.
Elizabeth GilbertIโm here. I love you. I donโt care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you... Thereโs nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.

It's like asking somebody to swallow the sun.
