“I walk past these white walls back to my room. The windows down the hallway shine their light and make rectangles on the floor. They angle themselves to the sun, so we never lose track of where the light comes in.”
Ashley Marie Berry

“There is no part of me that isn't in here.

I'm inviting you in.
Into my thoughts, into my compulsions, into my voice.

This is a raw but inviting look into a world I wasn't built for, and that wasn't built for me.

My diagnosis makes some people uncomfortable. These people make me feel uncomfortable.

I separate the 'us' who are touched by this light, and 'the others' who have yet to understand why we are separate.

I hope this book will bridge the gap.”
Ashley Marie Berry, Separate Things: A Memoir

“This isn’t a story about survival because a lot of my pieces have already been lost. Some rebirth has occurred, so I cannot say I’ve survived when I’m not the same person who started this journey.”

“I wanted to ventilate my deep feelings about song lyrics and dark poets. I wanted to take my socks off and dance in the forest. I wanted to drink wine until my lips went numb so kisses would feel deeper. I wanted to do everything dreamers do.”

“I love the wind and how hard it can exhale. I love the noise it creates, and the lack of other noises I can hear when it blows.”
