“I am trying to find myself
in all of the chaos,
find something that I can call me
inside the screams and inside
the 'you shoulds' and 'you have to bes.”
― Samantha Schutz, I Don't Want To Be Crazy

“Where you are
and what you are doing
is something you have done
dozens of times before
without any problems

Recognize that you are going to get out of this
that you always get out of this
that you are going to live
that you won't go crazy

I am telling you that you will live,
because you always live,
because you are strong
and beautiful.”
― Samantha Schutz, I Don't Want To Be Crazy

“It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.”
― Philip K. Dick, VALIS

“You can see when someone's been hurt the way I was. It's obvious. Something changes in their eyes; pain becomes their center, even when they try to hide it.”
― Cheryl Rainfield, Scars
