“Lost Hope
Vanishing into the dark sky,
my young day’s blazing hope.
Like a summer night’s star, even now
visible far off in the sky, even now.
Vanishing into the dark sky,
my young day’s dreams and hope.
Now, here, falling prone
like a beast, with dark feelings.
Some day those dark feelings
will clear, and no way of knowing when;
Like drowning in the night’s sea,
seeing the moon in the sky.
The waves are so deep,
the moon is so pure;
Sad, my young day’s blazing hope
already vanishing into the dark sky.”
― The Poems of Nakahara Chuya

“I am afraid because I can so clearly foresee my own life rotting away of itself, like a leaf that rots without falling, while I pursue my round of existence from day to day.”

“Some people accept that they will never be free of their anxiety, they just learn to carry it. She tried to be one of them. She told herself that was why you should always be nice to other people, even idiots, because you never know how heavy their burden is.”

“No one can really explain, either before or after, what makes a teenager stop wanting to be alive. It just hurts so much at times, being human. Not understanding yourself, not liking the body you're stuck in. Seeing your eyes in the mirror and wondering whose they are, always with the same question: 'What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like this?”

“. . . One of the most human things about anxiety is that we try to cure chaos with chaos. Someone who has got themselves into a catastrophic situation rarely retreats from it, we're far more inclined to carry on even faster. We've created lives where we can watch other people crash into the wall but still hope that somehow we're going to pass straight through it. The closer we get, the more confidently we believe that some unlikely solution is miraculously going to save us, while everyone watching us is just waiting for the crash."
. . . So Zara asked, without any sarcasm, "Have you learned any theories about why people behave like that, then?"
"Hundreds," The psychologist smiled.
"Which one do you believe?"
"I believe the one that says that if you do it for long enough, it can become impossible to tell the difference between flying and falling.”
