The biggest fear of my life is living. My second biggest fear is dying.

I have a type of bipolar that swings up and down all day long. There are significant mood swings within a day, within a week, within a month. I go through at least four major episodes a year. That's really the definition of bipolar rapid cycle. But I have ultra-rapid, so I have tiny little episodes all day long.

I know for a fact that sickness is easier, but health is more interesting.

We turn skeletons into goddesses and look to them as if they might teach us how not to need.

Me and my needs were driving my mother away. Me and my needs retreated to my closet, disappeared into fairy tales. I started making up a world where my needs wouldn´t exist at all.

But new love only lasts so long, and then you crash back into the real people you are, and from as high as we were, it's a very long fall, and we hit the ground with a thud.

After a lifetime of silence, it is difficult then to speak.
