“On the nights I can’t sleep, like that one, like so many recently, I wish I could just turn my mind off like a lamp.”

“I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It dominates. There’s not much I can do about it. Trust me. It doesn’t go away.

― Iain Reid, I'm Thinking of Ending Things
