So what do I wish for? Something I'm not sure I want? Someone I'm not sure I need? Or someone I know I can't have?
Stephanie PerkinsI'm not interested in making what's easy. I'm interested in making what's beautiful.
Stephanie PerkinsThe more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
Stephanie PerkinsBecause that's the thing about depression. When I feel it deeply, I don't want to let it go. It becomes a comfort. I want to cloak myself under its heavy weight and breathe it into my lunges. I want to nurture it, grow it, cultivate it. It's mine. I want to check out with it, drift asleep wrapped in its arms and not wake up for a long, long time.
