As you’ve all noted, there’s this perception that the world is moving on, yet you are unable to move with it, and this creates feelings of dissonance and isolation.

“Even now, at twenty-seven, I know people whose loved ones are all alive, who’ve never experienced the deep, lacerating grief that accompanies loss. I wonder what it feels like to be blissfully ignorant to that pain. Blissfully ignorant to death hovering, ready to snatch everything from you at any given moment.”

“Take it from somebody who's learned this the hard way,” said Marjie sagely. “Helping other people is a lot easier than helping yourself.” “Says the woman who spends most of her time helping people.” “Not at my own expense,” said Marjie. “And what can I say, it’s a calling. But for the longest time I resisted it. I wanted to save the world with my inventions, despite the fact they often backfired on me. It’s an ironic truth of life that doing what you really need to do can be the hardest thing. Meeting your own needs and dealing with your own issues is much, much harder than trying to save other people, but it's also far more important. If you don't do what you need to do for your own dreams, then you’ll wither inside. And then you'll be no real help to anyone else.”
