Theinstitution Helenfields Quotes

“The worst thing about places like this, like the school you went to, is that you get used to them. You don’t think you ever will, then it slips under your skin like a splinter and you press it for a while just to feel the pain, because pain is right, it’s how you should feel. Then one day you notice that the splinter isn’t pricking your skin any more. It’s gone all the way in, so deep it’s finally painless. You know it’s there but it’s just normal. Then you wake up one day and realise the thought of being anywhere else is terrifying, and that’s the day you finally hate yourself more than you hate all the other people put together, and you hate them a whole fucking lot.”
― Helen Sarah Fields
