“I lie down on my back and look up at the stars, thousands of white lights in a sea of darkness. Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by it all, the vastness of this life, the absolute miracle it is that I exist in this moment in time. How much magic is out in the universe, stretching beyond what the eye can see, reaching distances the mind can’t even comprehend?”

“...a hatred so strong not even love could overcome it.

The line between the two is paper thin and razor sharp, and we ended up on the wrong side of it. Maybe it was always inevitable, but if that were true, it wouldn't feel like losing something.”

“I marvel at the way it feels to have this kind of connection to the world around me, what it’s like being one of the few people who can experience the universe in all its splendor. Magic has been here from the beginning of time, and I get to call it and direct it and feel the energy of the stars from which it came. I am infinite because of it.”

“But that’s the thing about anxiety, it doesn’t care if something is rational or not. It takes hold of your mind and squeezes tighter and tighter until it can’t be ignored, demanding your undivided attention. It turns from insignificant to all-consuming in the span of a breath, a fog so thick it’s impossible to see through, and no amount of breathing or counting or visualizing undoes it.”
