“I think about that little pill for a long time. I think about how all I have to do is swallow it and I'll suddenly be a happy carefree person, someone who doesn't see the sadness. I shed a little tear for the sadness. Someone needs to see it, I think, why not me?”
― Lucie Britsch, Sad Janet

“All the tiny sadnesses will build up until they make you into whatever monster you are that keeps you up at night.”

“Which is the real Grandma? The Grandma who used to pick me up from nursery school? The Grandma who made me her special veggie meatballs? Breakfast-time Grandma when she dipped her bread in coffee before eating it? Gentle Grandma who, whenever Mum scolded me and pushed me away would sit next to me and let me talk? When Grandma goes away from this earth, where will she go? It's not happened yet, but I'm thinking about it now because I know that one day it's definitely, for sure, going to happen, And when I think about it, the air inside my chest gets heavier and heavier and it feels as if there's no escape.”
