“We blow out a soap-bubble as long and as large as possible, although with the perfect certainty that it will burst.” In this view, happiness is impossible, because of all these goals. Goals are the source of misery. An unattained goal causes pain, but actually achieving it brings only a brief satisfaction.”
― Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive

“When your own mother pretends you don't exist, it is like you are dead”
― Bernardine Evaristo, Girl, Woman, Other

“Thank God someone finally drugged me.”

“Isn’t that what life is about? Forging forward with the answer you have – stumbling along the way and picking yourself up – only to one day realise that the answer you’ve held on to for a long time is not the right one. When that happens, it’s time to look for the next answer. That’s how ordinary folks, like herself, live. Over our life span, the right answer will keep changing.”
