“There are fires to be suffered
the blaze of cruelty, the smoulder
of inextinguishable longing, even
the gentle candleflame of peace
that burns too.

I suffer them. I survive”
― Julia Darling, The Poetry Cure

“It’s not like seven weeks in hospital made him magically okay again.
I know I’m not an expert or anything, but from what I’ve learnt over the past few months, mental illnesses take a long time to go away completely … if they ever do.
This is probably only the start of a long journey.”
― Alice Oseman, Heartstopper: Volume Four

“It hurts to think of her. I know she's a drunk, but she can be nice sometimes, too. Sometimes we'd have a real laugh, watching TV together. Then other times she'd get angry and swear at me, because she had me too young and never got to be a teenager. But that wasn't my fault. I never asked to be born”
― L.A. Weatherly, Wasted

“Geoff says I’m making progress, but I think I’m realising now that there might never be an “end”. This could be something that will always be there in the back of my mind, waiting to emerge again and bring all the bad feelings back.”

“I don't really think there was a reason he got so ill. That stuff just happens, like diseases or cancer. So it's not his fault. Actually, I think it was probably my fault it got so bad. When I noticed that something was off with him, I didn't tell my parents and I didn't ask him what was wrong. I didn't talk to him enough. I didn't do enough.”
― Alice Oseman, This Winter
