“One moment I'm perfectly fine and the next I feel a wave of nausea, then panic. Then I can't catch my breath and I know I'm about to lose control and all I want to do is escape. Except that the one thing I can't escape from is the very thing I want to run away from... me.”

“Who are you?
Just because you break hearts
doesn't make you a heartbreaker.
Just because you get straight A's
doesn't make you a success.
Just because you have a college consultant
doesn't make you college bound.
Just because you fail to act
doesn't make you cowardly.
Just because you need help,
doesn't make you weak.
Just because the world sees you as something
or as nothing
doesn't mean anything
at all.”
― Robin Friedman, Nothing
