Relationships change even more than people. It's like two people changing. It's exponentially more volatile. Especially two teenagers.

I want to live but I want to die. What do I do?

It’s a huge thing, this Shift, just as big as I imagined. My brain doesn’t want to think anymore; all of a sudden it wants to do.

If you can't get out of bed for long enough, people come and take your bed away

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of living.

I wasn't going to have enough money to pay for a Good Lifestyle, which meant I'd feel ashamed, which meant I'd get depressed, and that was the big one because I knew what that did to me: it made it so I wouldn't get out of bed, which led to the ultimate thing—homelessness. If you can't get out of bed for long enough, people come and take your bed away.

Life can't be cured, but it can be managed.
