“I can tell something is going wrong for me when I withdraw—I stop caring as much about the things I usually care about, be it keeping up the house or maintaining social connections or even watching the shows I like.

I stop thinking about getting to my desired ending, because everything feels like an ending already.”
― R. Eric Thomas, Congratulations, The Best Is Over!: Essays

“Sometimes I want to take on the whole world and then there are other times … when all I want is for the world to take care of me.”
