Quotes by Leanne Toshiko Simpson (?)

“Sometimes I don't know if I actually have a mental illness or if I'm just a bad person.”
― Leanne Toshiko Simpson, Never Been Better

“I wondered if perhaps Elinor would understand- in a way my own parents never seemed to- how it felt to carry around the potential to harm the people you loved best, just by nature of your being.”
― Leanne Toshiko Simpson, Never Been Better

“...I often feel that ugly-sick is the most genuine iteration of myself. Sometimes I am delicately depressed, like a wet tissue-paper flower, and then there are times when I am in my terry-cloth bathrobe screaming at my parents for telling me I'm not well enough to drive and it feels like I have to shed my skin like a snake and I'm burning up in the sun, thinking in sharp cardiovascular spikes, 'This is who I really am, this is why I deserve nothing, this is why you should leave me.”
― Leanne Toshiko Simpson, Never Been Better
