“And then panic set in. My brain started to ping-pong unintelligible thoughts. Pictures and garbled jargon held a few slivers of phrases and images that were almost recognizable, but nothing coherent stuck together. My mind got louder, bolder, more intense, more pressurized. I couldn't explain my thoughts, or my feelings, or what I needed or wanted right then and there to let the pressure go. I just wanted to settle. I just wanted someone to take care of me. I just wanted to settle.”

But they were wrong.”

“projections
a lot of what people say
is a projection of themselves.
sometimes,
when you're clinging to hope and someone says to you,
"but everyone feels this way..."
it's because they feel that way.
it also means that
somewhere,
somehow,
someone told them that they shouldn't complain either.”
