Jonathan Harnisch
“Existence, for me, is not merely suffering — it is a meticulous form of torture disguised as life. I move through a world that calls itself shared, yet what I carry is mine alone: a private apocalypse, constant and precise. Others ache, yes — but not like this. Not like me.”
Jonathan Harnisch, Sex, Drugs, and Schizophrenia
