Hi! Author here. I know I'm (of course!) very partial, but as the writer, please allow me to indulge in what I dream you may take away from the story:

I hope you feel encouraged to pursue your dreams, whatever they may be.
I hope you remember that it's

Quotes by Kyleigh Leddy  (?)

“No one tells you what a precious, fragile gift your mind is in the first place. No one tells you it can be lost.”
― Kyleigh Leddy, The Perfect Other: A Memoir of My Sister

“You wish there was an adequate term for what you are—like orphan or widower—a term that says 'I once meant something to somebody.”
― Kyleigh Leddy, The Perfect Other: A Memoir of My Sister

“It might be possible to code technology to predict human speech patterns or program artificial intelligence to respond back to our questions. We might suffer a migraine when we’re stressed—a dagger at our temple—but when our souls are irreparably damaged, it’s not our minds that hurt. It’s right there in the violent wanting of our chests. You know this because yours has just broken.”
― Kyleigh Leddy, The Perfect Other: A Memoir of My Sister

“This is how youth should be measured, I thought, by how badly you allow yourself to be treated and for how long—even, or perhaps especially, by yourself.”
― Kyleigh Leddy, The Perfect Other: A Memoir of My Sister

“Perhaps all childhoods are mirrors we hold up, finding our identities in the reflection. Over time, these images fissure and crack, become foggy and confused. We become foggy and confused in turn. We crack in turn, too.”
― Kyleigh Leddy, The Perfect Other: A Memoir of My Sister

“Mental illness can be as unpredictable and indiscriminate as a natural disaster. It doesn’t happen to you until it does. You’re safe until you’re not.”
― Kyleigh Leddy, The Perfect Other: A Memoir of My Sister

“No one tells you what a precious, fragile gift your mind is in the first place. No one tells you it can be lost.”
― Kyleigh Leddy, The Perfect Other: A Memoir of My Sister

“Suffering is never imagined. The brain is the body, the brain is physical. We accept that our bodies can be injured—a broken bone, an infectious disease—but we ignore the injuries endured by our brains, because we assume a sense of control over our psychological hurt. This control is often an illusion.”
― Kyleigh Leddy, The Perfect Other: A Memoir of My Sister
